Staff recommends that the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11350- A Resolution Accepting Funding from the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services for 9-1-1 Equipment Maintenance and Appropriation of Funds.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The current maintenance term for the emergency telecommunication equipment will expire in April of 2025. Additionally, the eight Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) units are at the end of their lifecycle and need to be replaced. The cost for the FY25 maintenance and eight Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) units totals $71,430.15.
Additionally, the cost of the FY26 maintenance term which begins in April 2025 and end in April 2026 is $46,384.74. The total cost of both agreements is $117,814.89, which are presently not budgeted for in the Police Department’s operating budget. Staff recommends the funding from the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services be used for these maintenance costs.
POLICY / RULE
City Council Resolution 8367 states that all grants received from the Federal or State government for operating or capital purposes shall be recognized in separate grant project resolutions. A balanced grant project resolution must be adopted prior to beginning the project
ANALYSIS

AGENDA SECTION:
Consent Calendar
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11358 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Water Works Engineers, LLC for the City’s Sanitary Sewer Master Plan
FROM: Environmental and Water Resources Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Environmental and Water Resources Department recommends the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11358 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Water Works Engineers, LLC for the City’s Sanitary Sewer Master Plan.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
In 2017 the City of Folsom updated its Sewer Collection System Evaluation, Capacity Assurance and Capital Plan (SECAP). The evaluation included a significant expansion of the earlier hydraulic model to include approximately 252 miles of the City sewer system. The hydraulic model used the City’s standard design storm with a 10-year return, 6-hr duration and is used to evaluate both pump and pipeline capacity to ensure the sewer system has the necessary capacity to operate without impacts to the public or the environment.
The intent of the SECAP is to prevent sewer spills by identifying system hydraulic capacity deficiencies including identification of areas with high inflow and infiltration into the sewer system. Steps are then taken to establish short- and long-term capital improvement projects (CIPs) to address identified hydraulic deficiencies and develop a schedule for implementing the CIP.
The updated State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) General Waste Discharge Requirements (GWDR) Order WQ 2022-0103-DWQ for Sanitary Sewer Systems, which went into effect on June 5, 2023, requires the City to update the SECAP and develop a Sanitary Sewer Master Plan. In addition to developing the Sanitary Sewer Master Plan, the City is required to develop a
04/22/2025 Item No.4.
2 process that assists the City in prioritizing projects based on the potential consequence of a sewer spill.
In February 2025, the City issued a request for proposal s for Consulting Services for the Preparation of a Sanitary Sewer Master Plan. The scope of work request included the following:
1. Review Existing City Information.
2. Develop Land Use Planning Information.
3. Update land-use information based on recently adopted General Plan Amendments.
4. Identify various infrastructure funding opportunities for sewer projects.
5. Evaluate funding mechanisms for the specific overla y areas included in the 2024 amendments to the General Plan and Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan related to increased residential density.
6. Develop Design Flow and Hydraulic Criteria.
7. Hydraulic Model Flow Loading and Initial Model Run.
8. Wastewater Flow Data Analysis and Model Calibration.
9. Capacity Assessment and Sensitivity Analysis.
10. Update the SECAP.
11. Develop Project Prioritization based upon severity of consequences of potential spills.
12. Develop a Five-Year Capital Improvement Project Plan and Cost Estimate.
13. Develop Flow Monitoring locations for the Folsom Plan Area.
14. Prepare and Submit Draft and Final Sanitary Sewer Master Plan.
This resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Water Works Engineers, LLC for the City’s Sanitary Sewer Master Plan.
POLICY / RULE
In accordance with Chapter 2.36 of the Folsom Municipal Code, supplies, equipment, services, and construction with a value of $75,049 or greater shall be awarded by City Council.
ANALYSIS
On February 3, 2025, the City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to provide consulting services for the preparation of a Sanitary Sewer Master Plan. The City publicly advertised on February 3, 2025 for the Request for Proposal through the Sacramento Bee. Additionally, the RFP was made available on www.virtual-bid.com, www.publicpurchase.com, the City’s website and the RFP notification was also e-mailed directly to twenty-five consultants.
The City received one proposal for the City’s Sewer Master Plan. After reviewing the proposal for project understanding, deliverables, and project team staffing , the proposal was reviewed for project cost. The fee schedule for the scope of work outlined in the RFP from the consultant is shown in the table below:
Consultant Total
Water Works Engineers, LLC $399,938
04/22/2025 Item No.4.
3 Water Works Engineers, LLC was determined to provide the best value to the City based on the scope of work provided in their proposal, the project team, their expertise for these types of projects, and the fee amount. Water Works Engineers, LLC included a detailed and thorough project understanding as well as past relevant hydraulic modeling, system evaluation and capacity assurance planning, and various master plans for multiple clients across the Western United States including two agencies within the greater Sacramento Region (City of Roseville and El Dorado Irrigation District). In addition to this, Water Works, LLC has completed multiple design projects for the City as well as several sewer capacity studies both north and south of Highway 50, including hydraulic modeling work associated with recent General Plan Amendments.
This resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement w ith Water Works Engineers, LLC for the City’s Sanitary Sewer Master Plan in the amount of $399,938.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds are budgeted and are available in the Wastewater Operating Fund (Fund 530) in FY 2024-25 to provide for this agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Citywide sewer conveyance facilities have previously been evaluated at various levels of detail through previous environmental studies associated with the Folsom Area Plan, General Plan and recent amendments to the General Plan.
As part of the scope of work, the project team will prepare an administrative Initial Study (IS) based on State CEQA Guidelines Appendix G that will be the basis of the environmental document to be prepared. The incorporate the previous environmental analyses from the Folsom Area Plan, General Plan, and recent amendments to the General Plan to determine if the Sewer Master Plan improvements would create greater or new impacts to the environmental.
Should the results of the preparation of the administrativ e draft initial study identify that the environmental impacts of the Sewer Master Plan are adequately addressed in the environmental documents for the Folsom Plan Area , General Plan and recent amendments to the General Plan , an addendum to the General Plan EIR (as provided in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15164) will be prepared.
However, if land areas and/or sewer conveyance corridors where technical analysis of future proposed improvements result in new or greater environmental impacts than identified in previous environmental documents identified above, an Initial Study based on State CEQA Guidelines will be the basis of the environmental document to be prepared and is accounted for in the current scope of work . Upon receiving comments and edits of the I nitial Study, a n Initial Study Negative Declaration (IS/ND) or Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) will be prepared.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11359 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities Reimbursement Agreement between the City of Folsom and
Certain Land Owners in the Folsom Plan Area
FROM: Environmental and Water Resources Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Environmental and Water Resources Department recommends the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11359 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities Reimbursement Agreement between the City of Folsom and Certain Land Owners in the Folsom Plan Area.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The City of Folsom currently supplies treated and untreated water to an array of residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial users for over 25,000 connections. Based on land use, water demand, and water supply detailed in the City’s Water Master Plan, the ultimate Folsom Plan Area (FPA) maximum daily demand is 8.8 million gallons per day (MGD), which does not include the 0.4 MGD demand within the El Dorado Irrigation District service area.
The Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities includes a ne w 24” diameter water transmission pipeline that extends from an existing manifold located at the intersection of East Bidwell and Iron Point, on the northerly side of US 50, and extends north to the City’s Water Treatment Plant (WTP) by ways of the rail an d trail shoulder located on East Bidwell to Oak Avenue Parkway and placement within Oak Avenue Parkway. The project generally consists of the following:
Additional potholing as needed to identify utility conflicts. Development of Traffic Control Plans for work covered in the project plans and specifications.
04/22/2025 Item No.5.
2 Construction of approximately 18,500 L.F. of new 24” pipeline along the Oak Avenue and East Bidwell corridors.
Construction of tie -ins to existing pipelines at the WTP, Scholar Way and Broadstone Parkway.
Trail modifications, grading, paving, drainage system modifications, and tree protection.
POLICY / RULE
In accordance with Chapter 2.36 of the Folsom Municipal Code, supplies, equipment, services, and construction with a value of $75,049 or greater shall be awarded by City Council.
ANALYSIS
The City solicited bids for the construction of the Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities in August 2024 and entered into a construction contract with Mozingo Construction, Inc., who submitted the lowest responsive responsible bid based upon a guaranteed maximum price procurement approach in November 2024. On October 23, 2024, the Folsom Ranch Financing Authority issued and sold $26,735,000 in aggregate principal amount Folsom Ranch Financing Authority City of Fo lsom Community Facilities District No. 18 (Folsom Plan Area – Area-Wide Improvements and Services) Special Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2024 (Series 2024 Bonds) to finance certain Authorized Facilities consisting primarily of 18,500 linear feet of 24 -inch wat er transmission pipeline to provide expanded water transmission conveyance capabilities to deliver water from City’s water treatment plant to the Folsom Plan Area (Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities).
The attached agreement memorializes the Land Owner’s rights to certain reimbursements related to design work completed at the sole cost and expense of the Land Owners for the construction of Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities. Following completion and acceptance of the construction work by City, the reimbursements shall be paid by City to the Land Owners as specified in the agreement within thirty (30) days with remaining proceeds of the Bonds (Bond Proceeds), pay-as- you-go (PAYGO) funds, and/or special taxes becoming available to fund the direct payment of the reimbursements and not required to fund debt service or administrative expenses in accordance with the Rate and Method of Apportionment . Effectively, the agreement requires that the construction of the Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities be accepted and complete prior to reimbursing the Land Owners for previous project costs and expenses.
This resolution will authorize City Manager to execute the Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities Reimbursement Agreement between the City of Folsom and Certain Land Owners in the Folsom Plan Area.
FISCAL IMPACT
This reimbursement agreement is funded by PAYGO funds from the established Community Facilities District No. 17 (Fund 737) and special tax revenue bond proceeds and PAYGO funds from Community Facilities District No. 18 (Fund 738). Thus, no ratepayer funding will be used for the reimbursements included in this agreement.
04/22/2025 Item No.5.
3 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
On December 11, 2012, through Resolution No. 9096, the Folsom City Council approved and certified an addendum to the Environmental Impact Report , along with its related Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, for the Folsom Plan Area (FPA) Specific Plan Project for purposes of analyzing an alternative water supply for the Project. The Addendum concluded that the use of the FPA Water Supply and the changes in the facilities to treat and convey that water supply to the FPA will not (1) result in new significant impacts not identified in the FPA EIR/EIS; (2) substantially increase the severity of impacts previously disclosed in the FPA EIR/EIS; or (3) involve any of the other conditions related to new information that can require a subsequent or supplemental EIR under Public Resources Cod e section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines section 15162, and that therefore the use of the FPA Water Supply and changes in the facilities to treat and convey that supply will not have any incrementally significant effects on the environment and that the impacts of the use of the FPA Water Supply are within the range of potential impacts identified in the FPA EIR/EIS.

AGENDA SECTION:
Consent Calendar
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11360 – A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Program Supplement Agreement to
Administering Agency-State Agreement 03-5288F15 for the Folsom Lake Crossing Safety Improvements Phase 2 Project
FROM: Public Works Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Public Works Department recommends that the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11360 – A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Program Supplement Agreement to Administering Agency-State Agreement 03-5288F15 for the Folsom Lake Crossing Safety Improvements Phase 2 Project.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The Folsom Lake Crossing Median Barrier Phase 2 Project aims to enhance roadway safety along the segment of Folsom Lake Crossing between Folsom Dam Road and Folsom Auburn Road. This corridor serves as a high-volume arterial route. Phase 1 safety improvements were completed in 2023 , including open-grade friction course resurfacing, a thrie-beam median barrier, dynamic speed warning signs, and updated striping.
Despite these efforts, further en hancements are needed to address ongoing safety concerns, particularly regarding head -on collisions, nighttime visibility, and turning conflicts at the intersection with Gun Range Road. The Phase 2 scope analyz es and desig ns additional roadway safety improvements, including new or modified median barriers, enhanced lighting options (wired and solar), dynamic signage, reduced lane width configurations, and increased use of delineators, reflectors, and retro-reflective object markers.
In response to Congressman Kiley's call for Congressionally Directed Spending projects, the City of Folsom Public Works Department submitted the Phase 2 project and was awarded
04/22/2025 Item No.6.
2 $1.04 million in federal funding. Local matching funds of $ 134,743, so urced from the Transportation Improvement Fund (Fund 446), will supplement the total project cost.
To access these federal funds, the City must execute a Program Supplement Agreement with Caltrans. This agreement is required before the City can invoice Ca ltrans for reimbursable project expenses. Once executed, the City will initiate the Preliminary Engineering phase by advertising a Request for Proposals (RFP). This phase includes the preparation of plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E), right -of-way coordination, utility relocation analysis, environmental clearance (CEQA/NEPA), and public engagement.
POLICY / RULE
Caltrans requires that the executed Program Supplement Agreement be accompanied by a certified Resolution clearly identif ying the repre sentative who is authorized to sign on the Agency’s behalf.
ANALYSIS
The City of Folsom is required to execute the Program Supplement Agreement with Caltrans Local Assistance before invoicing Caltrans for any reimbursable costs.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City of Folsom was awarded $1,040,000 in Congressionally Directed Spending to support the design and construction phases of the project. In accordance with federal funding requirements, the City must provide an 11.47% local match, which equates to $134,743, for a total funding amount of 1,174,743.
Sufficient matching funds are available in the Transportation Improvement Fund (Fund 446 ) to meet the local match required. During the design phase, a cost estimate will be produced to determine the actual costs of the project. These combined funding sources will likely fully fund the Preliminary Engineering phase and possibly the Construction Phase, subject to future City Council approval of consultant agreements and construction contracts.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
As part of the Preliminary Engineering phase of this project, an analysis will be performed to determine compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

1. A. The ADMINISTERING AGENCY will advertise, award and administer this project in accordance with the current published Local Assistance Procedures Manual.
B. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees that it will only proceed with work authorized for specific phase(s) with an "Authorization to Proceed" and will not proceed with future phase(s) of this project prior to receiving an "Authorization to Proceed" from the STATE for that phase(s) unless no further State or Federal funds are needed for those future phase(s).
C. STATE and ADMINISTERING AGENCY agree that any additional funds which might be made available by future Federal obligations will be encumbered on this PROJECT by use of a STATE-approved "Authorization to Proceed" and Finance Letter. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees that Federal funds available for reimbursement will be limited to the amounts obligated by the Federal Highway Administration.
D. Award information shall be submitted by the ADMINISTERING AGENCY to the District Local Assistance Engineer within 60 days of project contract award and prior to the submittal of the ADMINISTERING AGENCY'S first invoice for the construction contract.
Failure to do so will cause a delay in the State processing invoices for the construction phase.
Attention is directed to Section 15.6 "Award Package" of the Local Assistance Procedures Manual.
E. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees, as a minimum, to submit invoices at least once every six months commencing after the funds are encumbered for each phase by the execution of this Project Program Supplement Agreement, or by STATE's approval of an applicable Finance Letter. STATE reserves the right to suspend future authorizations/obligations for Federal aid projects, or encumbrances for State funded projects, as well as to suspend invoice payments for any on-going or future project by ADMINISTERING AGENCY if PROJECT costs have not been invoiced by ADMINISTERING AGENCY for a six-month period.

F. Administering Agency shall not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, age, disability, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of any Federal-assisted contract or in the administration of its DBE Program Implementation Agreement. The Administering Agency shall take all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR Part 26 to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of Federal-assisted contracts. The Administering Agency's DBE Implementation Agreement is incorporated by reference in this Agreement. Implementation of the DBE Implementation Agreement, including but not limited to timely reporting of DBE commitments and utilization, is a legal obligation and failure to carry out its terms shall be treated as a violation of this Agreement. Upon notification to the Administering Agency of its failure to carry out its DBE Implementation Agreement, the State may impose sanctions as provided for under 49 CFR Part 26 and may, in appropriate cases, refer the matter for enforcement under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986 (31 U.S.C. 3801 et seq.).
G. Any State and Federal funds that may have been encumbered for this project are available for disbursement for limited periods of time. For each fund encumbrance the limited period is from the start of the fiscal year that the specific fund was appropriated within the State Budget Act to the applicable fund Reversion Date shown on the State approved project finance letter. Per Government Code Section 16304, all project funds not liquidated within these periods will revert unless an executed Cooperative Work Agreement extending these dates is requested by the ADMINISTERING AGENCY and approved by the California Department of Finance.
ADMINISTERING AGENCY should ensure that invoices are submitted to the District Local Assistance Engineer at least 75 days prior to the applicable fund Reversion Date to avoid the lapse of applicable funds. Pursuant to a directive from the State Controller's Office and the Department of Finance; in order for payment to be made, the last date the District Local Assistance Engineer can forward an invoice for payment to the Department's Local Programs Accounting Office for reimbursable work for funds that are going to revert at the end of a particular fiscal year is May 15th of the particular fiscal year. Notwithstanding the unliquidated sums of project specific State and Federal funding remaining and available to fund project work, any invoice for reimbursement involving applicable funds that is not received by the Department's Local Programs Accounting Office at least 45 days prior to the applicable fixed fund Reversion Date will not be paid. These unexpended funds will be irrevocably reverted by the Department's Division of Accounting on the applicable fund Reversion Date.

As a condition for receiving federal-aid highway funds for the PROJECT, the Administering Agency certifies that NO members of the elected board, council, or other key decision makers are on the Federal Government Exclusion List.

RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Public Works Department recommends that the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11361 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Construction Agreement with Consolidated Engineering, Inc. for the Pavement Repair and Resurfacing Project (Project 8017) FY 2024-25.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The City of Folsom Public Works Department maintains a Pavement Management Program (PMP) that is updated every five years. This program serves to identify road maintenance and repair needs throughout the city. The goal of the program is to maintain the overall Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of the city using Measure A and SB1 Gas Tax funds.
This project aims to address many of the road maintenance and rehabilitation needs of the city as outlined in the PMP. This involves a three-pronged approach of preventative maintenance, repairs, and rehabilitation. The scope of work includes milling and replacement of asphalt, crack filling, slurry sealing, installation of concrete gutters, sidewalks , and curbs, removal and replac ement of ADA ramps and manholes, curb painting, pavement markings, and thermoplastic striping.
Construction is anticipated to begin in early May and be completed by August 2025.

Folsom City Council
Staff Report
1 MEETING DATE:
4/22/2025
AGENDA SECTION:
Consent Calendar
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11363 – A Resolution Updating the City of Folsom Legislative Platform and Advocacy Manual
FROM: City Clerk's Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. 11363 – A Resolution Updating the City of Folsom Legislative Platform and Advocacy Manual.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The City has a longstanding practice of collaborating with lobbyists, as well as state and federal representatives, on legislative matters of importance. To effectively advocate for the City’s legislative priorities, it is essential to establish a clear legislative platform on current issues and to define roles and responsibilities within the advocacy process.
In 2021, the City Council approved its first Legislative Platform and Advocacy Manual. This document was subsequently updated in 2023, and staff is now proposing a further update for 2025 to ensure it reflects current issues and aligns with the City's evolving legislative needs.
ANALYSIS
A Legislative Platform defines the City Council's position on current issues that may impact the City. The Advocacy Manual outlines the City's approach to legislative activity and clarifies the roles and responsibilities of individuals involved in the advocacy process.
04/22/2025 Item No.8.
2 To advocate effectively and in the City’s best interest, it is important to establish clear procedures and defined roles. Well-crafted policies ensure that the City's stance on potentially impactful state and federal legislation is clearly communicated to policymakers.
Additionally, a formalized advocacy system is vital for responding quickly when urgent legislative action is required.
Department heads have reviewed the 2023 document and recommended certain adjustments to policy statements. The proposed new or amended policy statements are as follows:
Fire and Emergency Medical Services
1. Support efforts to increase fuel reduction projects, defensible space, and ignition resistant building construction within the City of Folsom.
Libraries
1. Support federal legislation and funding for the Library Services and Technology Act and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which provide grants to states that support local library initiatives.
2. Support renewed state funding of the California Library Services Act that fosters physical and digital resource sharing among libraries.
3. Support renewed funding for the Building Forward Library Improvement Grant Program that supports local agencies in constructing and maintaining library facilities.
4. Support renewed funding for online educational and workforce development programs.
5. Support legislation that preserves libraries’ right to purchase digital content, including eBooks and eAudiobooks, at the same price as consumers.
6. Support legislation defending freedom to read and unrestricted access to materials that encompass diverse points of view.
POLICY / RULE
The City of Folsom Charter vests the City Council with the powers necessary for the performance of all duties and obligations (§ 2.02).
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The update of the Legislative Platform and Advocacy Manual will not result in any direct financial impact. However, actions aligned with the City's strategic use of assets and resources are expected to help control costs, support the implementation of the City Council’s policies and goals, and safeguard the interests of Folsom residents.

LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM
The City of Folsom is a full-service charter city, providing a wide range of quality programs, services, and amenities to residents, with excellence as a top priority. Protecting the high quality and distinctive character of Folsom calls for an active and engaged legislative advocacy program, which guides how Folsom advocates for its legislative and policy interests by enabling the City Council and City staff to address legislative and regulatory issues promptly.
FOUNDATIONAL LEGISLATIVE PRINCIPLES
The below principles create the foundation for the City’s policy interests.
Preserve Local Control
Preserve and protect the City’s powers to enact local legislation, set policy direction concerning local affairs, and oppose legislation that preempts local authority. Local agencies should preserve authority and accountability for revenues raised and services provided.
Promote Fiscal Stability
Support measures that promote fiscal stability, predictability, financial independence, and preserve the City’s revenue base and maximize local control over local government budgeting. Oppose measures that shift local funds to the county, state or federal governments and make cities more dependent on the county, state, or federal governments for financial stability, such as unfunded mandates or mandated costs with no guarantee of local reimbursement or offsetting benefits.
Support Diverse Funding Opportunities
Support opportunities for the City to compete for its share of regional, state, and federal funding. Support funding for programs with benefits to air quality, water quality, affordable housing, infrastructure, multi-modal transportation systems, public safety, and public health.
04/22/2025 Item No.8.

Enhance Quality of Life Through Adequate Public Safety
Support criminal justice laws that reinforce public safety protection for Folsom residents. Support legislation that reduces access to firearms for individuals who have been identified as potentially dangerous through civil measures such as extreme risk protection orders or red flag laws. Support measures that protect city authority and ability to deliver local emergency services.
POLICY STATEMENTS
Administration
1. Oppose State or Federal efforts to “borrow” local revenues and encourage the State to find other methods of balancing its budget.
2. Support local government control, rather than the imposition of state, federal or regional mandates upon local governments.
3. Support maximum flexibility for local government in contracting and contract negotiations.
4. Support reasonable legislation that sustains the principles of the open meetings provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act without creating onerous burdens on local government.
5. Support legislation that preserves the ability of local governments to determine the appropriate type of election for their jurisdiction.
6. Oppose any amendment to the redistribution of sales and use taxes which will negatively affect the City and its ability to provide city services and thereby cause a negative fiscal impact.
7. Oppose legislation that creates unfunded mandates or that creates mandates which adversely impact the affordability of City services.

LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY MANUAL
PURPOSE
The goals of the City of Folsom’s Legislative Advocacy Program are to:
Describe the City’s internal procedures related to federal, state, and local advocacy
Ensure potentially impactful federal, state, and local legislation is identified, analyzed, tracked, and that the City’s legislative position is communicated to legislators
COORDINATION OF THE LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
When City staff learns of governmental action potentially affecting the City, internal communication and coordination to analyze the action begins.
Action can then proceed in either of two ways:
1. If the Council has previously adopted a legislative policy statement relevant to the legislation, the City Manager may act by engaging in established advocacy methods.
2. If there is no relevant legislative policy statement or Council direction related to a potentially impactful bill, if the issue is politically controversial, or if there is significant local interest in the issue, the proposed legislation will be referred to Council for direction.
THE ROLE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
The City Council has ultimate responsibility for determining the City’s position on legislative issues. The Council's specific responsibilities include:
1. Establish legislative priorities
2. Meet with the City's state and federal legislative advocates as needed or desired to best represent the interests of Folsom
3. Work with external entities on issues of shared regional policy concern
04/22/2025 Item No.8.
12 | Page LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM AND ADVOCACY MANUAL Redline Draft for 2025 Update
Formatted: Font color: Auto
4. Determine positions on resolutions proposed for adoption by the League of California Cities, the National League of Cities, and similar regional entities, as requested
5. Assume an active advocacy role with legislators on behalf of the City. This may include travel, and any such travel will be consistent with current City travel policies
THE ROLE OF THE CITY MANAGER
The City Manager is the central coordinator of the City's legislative program. The City Manager may designate a legislative liaison to assist with coordinating the City’s legislative program. The responsibilities and activities of the City Manager include:
1. Ensuring the consistency of legislative action throughout the City
2. Coordinating contacts and communications with legislators and their staff
3. With departmental assistance, evaluating proposed legislation that may affect the City
4. Disseminating information on public policy items of interest to City departments
5. Directing and overseeing the City’s lobbyists, including setting priorities for action that are consistent with Council direction
6. Preparing advocacy letters for the Mayor or Vice Mayor’s signature. If neither the Mayor nor Vice Mayor are available to sign advocacy letters, the City Manager shall sign on behalf of the City. Copies of the communication will be distributed immediately to the City Council.
7. Serving, as needed, as the liaison to stakeholder groups, legislative offices, and local jurisdictions concerning legislative activities
8. Coordinating, briefing, and providing support to Council members for visits with state and/or federal legislators, as requested
THE ROLE OF CITY DEPARTMENTS
Active departmental participation is essential to the success of the Legislative Program.
Departmental employees can provide technical assistance and unique insight into issues
04/22/2025 Item No.8.
13 | Page LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM AND ADVOCACY MANUAL Redline Draft for 2025 Update
Formatted: Font color: Auto
potentially impacting the City. Responsibilities of the departments include, but are not limited to:
1. Informing the City Manager of policy issues of importance to the City and any specific bills they become aware of that may impact the department
2. Designating key contacts within the department or division who are responsible for evaluating legislation and/or assisting with legislative analysis and advocacy letters
3. Suggesting organizations, individuals, publications, and/or legislators who may be allies in advocating the City's position on certain legislation
CITY COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES
City employees who are staff or liaison to Council appointed advisory commissions and committees should encourage those bodies to bring to the City Manager’s attention any proposed legislation for which they recommend a position or wish the City Manager to track.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT
The Environmental and Water Resources Department carefully monitors legislative developments, due to the heavily and separately regulated nature of the utilities.
Advocacy actions that squarely and solely affect the Environmental and Water Resources Department (i.e.: an increase in utility rates, a change in departmental operations or policies, or additional work for staff of only the Environmental and Water Resources Department) and that conform with approved legislative guidelines, may be approved by the Director of the Environmental and Water Resources Department.
LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY IN SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
The City Council is the official voice of the City of Folsom and the final authority for determining legislative positions. The processes outlined below reflect instances when staff has no prior Council authority, the issue is controversial, or is a current item of significant community interest, or time constraints preclude action by the City Council.
04/22/2025 Item No.8.
14 | Page LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM AND ADVOCACY MANUAL Redline Draft for 2025 Update
Formatted: Font color: Auto
Staff will place the item on a City Council agenda, including a specific bill number, if any, an analysis of the item, and a recommendation if warranted, for Council deliberation. Staff will follow the direction from Council related to the specific item.
If there is no relevant legislative platform guideline and time limits preclude action by the City Council, the Mayor and Vice Mayor shall coordinate with the City Manager to determine the City’s position on proposed legislation and communicate the position as appropriate. Copies of the communication will be distributed to the City Council and presented for ratification at the earliest possible Council meeting. In the event that a majority of the City Council disagrees with the position expressed by the Mayor, Vice Mayor and/or City Council, clarifying communication will be sent as appropriate.
SIGNATURES ON LEGISLATIVE COMMUNICATION
Letters and other communications expressing the City's position will customarily bear the signature of the Mayor. However, if the legislation's principal impact is on the City’s operating procedures, the communication may be signed by the City Manager. In order to keep the Council and others informed of all City communication on legislation, copies of the letters will be distributed to the City Council.
COMMUNICATION WITH ELECTED OFFICIALS
From time to time, Councilmembers may meet with the City’s local, state, and/or federal representatives. These meetings are an important component of building legislative relationships and sharing issues of significance to Folsom. Any meetings or communication with local, state, or federal elected officials must be done in a coordinated way to ensure consistency of messaging, accurate information and record keeping, and sharing of resources. Therefore, any communication with a local, state, or federal elected official or legislative staff shall be coordinated through the City Manager.

ADVOCACY METHODS
Drafting position letters is one advocacy tool, best used in conjunction with others. The City Council, City Manager, and lobbyists may use any, or a combination of the below additional advocacy methods:
1. Calls to policymakers, their staff, or legislative committee staff
2. Meeting with legislators and their staff, stakeholders, and other groups active on the same issue or bill
3. Testifying at a committee hearing regarding the City’s position and/or concerns
4. Building coalitions with like-minded entities

Consent Calendar
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11367-A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Amendment to the Lease Agreement Between the City of Folsom and Kelli Vaccaro, DBA Kids Inc. for the Lease of 405 Natoma Station Drive, APN 072-0850-029-0000
FROM: Parks and Recreation Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council Approve Resolution No. 11367-A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Folsom Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Amendment to the Lease Agreement Between the City of Folsom and Kelli Vaccaro, DBA Kids Inc. for the Lease of 405 Natoma Station Drive, APN 072-0850-029-0000.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The City of Folsom and Kelli Vaccaro, DBA Kids Inc. entered into a 10-year lease agreement with two optional extensions of 5 years, commencing on April 1, 2022.
Kids Inc.(tenant) Rent Per Month:
April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023 - $20,000
April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024 - $20,600
April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025 - $21,218.
On March 6, 2025, the City received a letter from the tenant asking that the City reduce its monthly rent amount by $2,000. The justification for the rent reduction was related to the property taxes that the tenant needs to pay for the facility. Although the lease agreement mentions that the tenant would be responsible for the taxes, the tenant indicates that they didn’t realize it was their responsibility. The tenant has spent a significant amount of money to make improvements to the building and the property tax cost has become burdensome for the tenant.
04/22/2025 Item No.9.
2 Due to the tenant’s significant investment and the additional property tax burden the tenant has requested the city consider a $2,000 monthly reduction in rent. Staff recommend that the council grant this reduction.
POLICY / RULE
The City Manager shall receive City Council authority to execute contracts in excess of $75,049
ANALYSIS
The City of Folsom and Kelli Vaccaro, DBA Kids Inc. entered into a 10-year lease agreement with two optional extensions of 5 years, commencing on April 1, 2022. Since entering into the lease, the lessee has made several improvements to the city-owned facility and has more improvements planned in the future. Improvements include:
Completed
Nearly $200,000 in building improvements to update the facility to better serve children and families.
Landscape care due to issues between the facility and the city landscape contractor. Landscape shrub removal to enhance safety.
Planned
Painting of the building exterior.
Re-striping the parking lot.
Replacement of rain gutters.
The lessee has taken great care of the facility and is up to date on payments.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The current monthly rate of $21,218 equates to annual revenues of $254,616. The $2,000 monthly reduction will reduce the annual revenues by $24,000. The City will still receive $230,616 annually under this agreement. The new monthly rental rate will still have an annual increase of 3% per year.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed lease of an existing public facility is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines.

Staff Report
1 MEETING DATE:
4/22/2025
AGENDA SECTION:
Consent Calendar
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11368-A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Amendment to the Lease Agreement Between the City of Folsom and Pour Leadership Inc. DBA Uncle Charlie’s Firehouse & Brew for the Lease of Retail Space at 905 Leidesdorff Street, APN 070-0052-023-0000
FROM: Parks and Recreation Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council approve Resolution No. 11368-A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Amendment to the Lease Agreement Between the City of Folsom and Pour Leadership Inc. DBA Uncle Charlie’s Firehouse & Brew for the Lease of Retail Space at 905 Leidesdorff Street, APN 070-0052-023-0000
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The parking garage and retail space were constructed in 2008 and transferred from the Redevelopment Agency to the City of Folsom in 2012. In 2014 the city entered into a 3-year lease of the retail space to the Folsom Historic Society for their Museum of Wonder and Delight.
The lease between the city and the Folsom Historic Society was for an amount of $1 per month for the three-year term. After the expiration of the Folsom Historic Society lease, the site sat vacant for over three years.
In June of 2021 the city posted a request for proposals and received three proposals. Six staff and one member of the Folsom Chamber of Commerce reviewed and ranked the proposals. Uncle Charlie’s Firehouse Brew scored the highest on the review. The City Council approved entering into a 10-year lease agreement with two optional extensions of 5 years, commencing on July 5, 2023, the first six months of the agreement were rent free to allow the lessee to obtain permits to make facility improvements, followed by a 10-month rent free period for a total of 16 months’ rent free. The lessee has been working through the permitting and buildout process which has added additional time to the buildout of the facility. There was extra engineering and testing necessary due to the size of equipment that will be housed in the facility and the post and tension
04/22/2025 Item No.10.
2 slab that makes up the floor of the facility. Uncle Charlie’s has been working through the building process since their original submittal in March of 2024. Attachment 4 shows the permitting and plan review process.
The lessee has requested the city extend the rent-free period to 24 months. The lessee has paid rent starting after their rent-free period for the months of November, December, January, and February for a total of $26,600. They are requesting that this initial rent be applied to future rent and be credited to the months of July, August, September, October, and begin paying regular rent in November 2025.
POLICY / RULE
The City Manager shall receive City Council authority to execute contracts in excess of $75,049.
ANALYSIS
Based on the rental history and the amount of time the site has sat vacant, there is a need for a strong long-standing business to further complement the garage and plaza area in the Historic District. After reviewing the request seen in attachment 3, staff agree that an extension of the rent-free period is reasonable and warranted. Staff recommends that the short-term reductions is warranted in order to help this business get off the ground.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
This request will delay the collection of rent for an additional 8-month period. The City has never received more than $1 to rent out this facility and believes that it is worth waiting a few extra months to start receiving consistent rental payments for the facility. Once the rental payments begin the City will receive annual payments starting at $75,600 a year escalating each year thereafter.
Eight months of rent at $6,650 a month totals $53,200. The long-term lease is expected to bring well over a million dollars in rent revenue to the City of the first 10 years of the agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed lease of an existing public facility is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines.

Hi Dan-
Thank you for the call.
Uncle Charlie’s Firehouse & Brew is requesting a lease amendment for a 24 month extension on free rent versus the original 16months.
We are requesting our Lease that was signed July 2022 and gave us 10 months free rent with an additional 6 months to get our building permit before we started paying rent, Which started November 2024- be extended to 24 free rent which would start July 2025.
We are asking for a credit of the $6650 per month we have paid for November, December, January, February, for a total of ($26,600) be credited to July, August, September, October and restart paying in November 2025.
We feel with the delayed buildout and monies already paid we are running risk of burning through capital before we are open. We are asking the city to help meet us with this request so we can be successful and thriving and good stewards of the space and as the city’s tenant.
Cheers!

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11369 - A Resolution Authorizing Staff to Submit Grant Applications to the Sacramento Area Council of
Governments for the 2024 -25 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Funding Round
FROM: Public Works Department and Parks and Recreation Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Public Works and Parks & Recreation Departments recommend that the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11369 - A Resolution Authorizing Staff to Submit Grant Applications to the Sacramento Area Council of Governments for the 2024 -25 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Funding Round.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG), as the Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) for Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba Counties, is responsible for preparing and submitting the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP), which programs each county’s share of STIP funds.
In February 2024, SACOG adopted a new STIP framework that split county shares into two categories:
1. A regional pool for competitive projects across all counties (10%), and
2. Individual intra-county competitive programs, which would manage the majority (90%) of each county’s share.
In October 2024, SACOG formalized funding guidelines under this revised framework, emphasizing collaborative planning among regiona l stakeholders. Most recently, in February 2025, SACOG issued a call for projects, confirmed STIP fund estimates, and reaffirmed that
04/22/2025 Item No.11.
90% of each county’s STIP share would be allocated through intra -competitive county programs.
In response to SACOG’s revised framework for STIP funding, the Sacramento Transportation Authority has proposed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to fulfill the requests among local transportation agencies within Sacramento County to strategically coordinate a collectively beneficial approach to the 2025 SACOG Four-County STIP Funding Program and future funding programs to reduce the number of applications submitted, improve coordination, and to increase the funding predictability within their respective 90% county share allocation. Through the partnership, Member Agencies increase predictability in how much funding will be available each funding cycle. This MOU will be presented to City Council for approval in the near future.
The member agencies for this MOU consist of the County of Sacramento, the Cities of Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, Galt, Rancho Cordova, Isleton, and Sacramento, the Capital SouthEast Connector JPA, Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District, Paratransit Inc., Sacramento Regional Transi t District, and San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission.
The anticipated 2025 allocations for Individual intra-county competitive programs based on population (75%) and lane miles (25%) are as follows:
Folsom $ 1,274,000
Citrus Heights $ 1,109,000
Elk Grove $ 2,400,000
Galt $ 363,000
Isleton $ 100,000
Rancho Cordova $ 1,168,000
Sacramento $ 6,889,000
Sacramento County $ 8,712,000
The Empire Ranch Interchange Project was considered for this funding opportunity however it was determined that the project does not meet the criteria for STIP funding due to the project’s classification as a capacity-increasing project as well as the funding criteria that any project funded through this STIP funding round must be scheduled t o begin construction no later than June 2029. Staff does not think this is a reasonable schedule based on recent attempts to obtain Caltrans approval and the anticipated timeline for project design. If Council chooses to direct staff to submit a funding request for the Empire Ranch Interchange project , and the project is deemed to not meet the eligibility criteria, there would be no risk of losing these available funds however the funds wouldn’t be available to apply for again until the 2027 STIP call for projects.
The Public Works Department and Parks and Recreation Department are proposing to submit grant applications for this STIP funding round for the two projects listed below. Staff attended
04/22/2025 Item No.11.
a pre-application meeting with SACOG staff and received positive feedback that both projects below align well with the STIP guidelines.
Riley Street Complete Streets (Public Works)
On Riley Street, between E ast Bidwell Street and Wales Drive: This pro ject will consist of complete street improvements that will include transitioning from a four lane, two-way street to a single lane in each direction, creation of dedicated bike facilities, pedestrian improvements, and the development of four roundabouts at E ast Bidwell Street, Walmart/Kohls Driveway, Glenn Drive, a nd Wales Drive. The implementation of roundabouts, bicycle lanes, and crosswalks in the project area will slow traffic, reducing the risk for pedestrians and allowing safer vehicle access into and out of the commercial properties along the corridor. These roundabouts were identified and received the highest composite benefit scores in the Roundabout Screening Evaluation that was recently presented to City Council. The requested funding for this project would be utilized for the Project Approval/Environmental Document Phase.
Highway 50 Class I Trail Undercrossing & Trail Improvements (Parks & Recreation) Located along the Sacramento -Placerville Transportation Corridor Joint Powers Authority (SPTC-JPA) railroad track corridor between Iron Point Road and the southside of the US Highway 50 overcrossing of Old Placerville Road.
The Highway 50 Class I Trail Undercrossing & Trail Improvements project would complete the critical gap in Folsom's only planned Class I trail connection to the Folsom Plan Area (FPA). The project would connect the existing Class I trail that runs from Iron Point Road to just before the Highway 50 undercrossing to the existing trail that parallels Old Placerville Road on the south side of Highway 50. Currently , there is no Class I trail facility under Highway 50.
The project would also improve the existing trail that runs from Iron Point Road to just before Highway 50 undercrossing (parallels the S PTC-JPA railroad tracks) and the trail adjacent to the In -N-Out parking lot. Currently, the existing Class I trail parallel to the tracks begins approximately 175 feet east of the East Bidwell/Iron Point intersection crosswalks requiring bicyclists and pedestrians to use a narrow sidewalk to access the Class I trail. The proposed trail improvements include widening the existing Class I trail (10 feet to 12 feet), adding 2 - foot shoulders on each side, and constructing a new Class I trail connection from the existing Class I trail, parallel to the railroad tracks, to the existing trail that runs behind In -N-Out, connecting trail users to the East Bidwell sidewalk approximately 80 feet south of the East Bidwell/Iron Point intersection crosswalks. The staging ar ea for bicyclists and pedestrians adjacent to the East Bidwell/Iron Point intersection crosswalks would be widened to accommodate additional trail users queuing to cross the intersection.
04/22/2025 Item No.11.
POLICY / RULE
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 10405 Amending Financial Policies of the City of Folsom regarding grant administration on April 14, 2020. Section D – Intergovernmental Revenues, Paragraph A – Grant Applications states, “Grant application shall be the responsibility of the department seeking the grant. Grant applications that require an expenditure of funds by the City of less than or equal to the City Manager contract authority amount may be approved by the City Manager prior to submittal to the grantor. All other grant applications, including any requiring an ongoing commitment of resources or staff, shall be reviewed and approved by the City Council prior to submittal. In circumstances where it is not possible for the City Council to approve the grant application prior to submittal, the City Manager may approve the application subject to the City Council ratification as soon as practicable to do so.
Requests to the City Council or the City Manager for approval of a grant application shall identify anticipated long -term maintenance and/or renovation costs, required City matching funds, and additional personnel that may be needed if the grant is awarded for a capital project.
Concerning grants for staffing, the source of funds for long -term staffing after the expiration of the grant shall also be identified in the request for approval of the grant application.
All grant applications on behalf of the Cit y shall be reviewed by the Finance Director before submittal to the City Council or the grantor.”
ANALYSIS
Staff from the Public Works and Parks & Recreation Departments collaborated on priority projects that meet STIP funding eligibility to compile a list of candidate projects for possible grant funds.
Staff is requesting that Council provide prioritization between these two projects, which could consist of proceeding with only one of the projects or a split funding request (e.g., 60/40), with the understanding that the most Folsom can receive this funding round is $1,274,000. Staff is requesting approval to submit both projects for funding consideration, proposing a request of $974,000 for the Riley Street Complete Streets project and a $300,000 request for the Highway 50 Class I Trail Undercrossing and Trail Improvements project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no direct financial impact associated with this action at this point. Should the City be awarded grant funding for any of these projects, the City would be required to provide local matching funds of approximately 11 % of the amount granted. Once any of the projects are awarded grant funding staff will return to Council to identify the source of the match required, request Council accept the grant award, and request an increase to revenue estimates and appropriations for the amount awarded..

User and processing fees for the Community Development Department’s services , including Building, Engineering and Planning, have not been comprehensively evaluated since at least 2006.
Using a grant received from the State, the Department hired ClearSource Financial Consulting to analyze existing user fees, hourly rates, and staff time needed to perform fee -based tasks for Building, Engineering, and Planning services as well as for Special Event Permits. The study found that existing fees did not adequately cover the amount of staff time and resources associated with those processes and services. The study proposed a new fee schedule, with some modifications to the structure itself, to better capture the costs associated with fee -based services. New fees for Building and Engineering services were adopted by City Council Resolution on May 28, 2024 and went into effect on August 1, 2024. At that time, City Council recommended staff delay updating Planning and Special Event Permit fees until a later date for the reasons described below.
Councilmembers noted that proposed Special Event Permit fees were potentially too high and that more research was needed to determine what types of events and organizations, such as non - profits, should be charged for events with community or economic d evelopment benefit.
Additionally, the special event process facilitated by Community Development Department may be better managed through other departments with clear thresholds and requirements . Staff have not yet had the capacity to do research on how to more fairly charge for special events or potentially improve the process, and so the current Special Event Permit fee is not proposed to be changed at
04/22/2025 Item No.14.
2 this time. Staff expect to bring forward recommendations on the Special Event Permit process and fees in the second half of this year depending on Council priorities.
For the proposed changes to the processing fees for Planning services, which include appeal fees, some Councilmembers stated that better explanations were needed for the various Planning processes and how often they are utilized to determine if all listed fees are still necessary. Some Council members also stated that the proposed appeal fees were too high even though they captured staff’s level of effort involved in recent appeals . Based on these concerns, s taff determined that it would be most effective to discuss Planning fees in tandem with the upcoming Zoning Code update . This update may come with modifications to, or even the elimination of , existing Planning processes that could in t urn have effects on staff time and Planning fees. Staff believe that discussing proposed changes to processes in the Zoning Code update should go hand in hand with discussions of the fees associated with those processes to improve efficiency.
However, the Zoning Code update has not progressed on its original schedule due to other pressing projects taking precedence. As such, in order to avoid further delays, and so that Planning can start collecting fees that better reflect the time required to process applications, staff are now proposing to update the Planning fees using current fee types, with the intent of coming back to the City Council to recommend adjusting fee types at a later date once processes are modified under t he Zoning Code update.
Finally, after implementation of the Building and Engineering services updated fee schedule from May 28, 2024 , Engineering and City Arborist staff found that a small number of their newly modified fees were not working as intended i n terms of reflecting either the amount of staff time or the proposed cost recovery . As such, staff have also proposed a few minor updates to the Engineering fee schedule to adjust those fees accordingly.
POLICY / RULE
The objectives of the fee study, the methodology used to complete the study, and the formulation of outcomes and recommended fee updates were significantly influenced by Article XIII C of the California Constitution, Propositions 218 (1996) and 26 (2010), and Section 66014 of the California Government Code.
Article XIII C states that, “the local government bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a levy, charge, or other exaction is not a tax, that the amount is no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the governmental activity, and that the manner in which those costs are allocated to a payor bear a fair or reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits received from, the governmental activity. ” Additionally, Article XIII C identifies the following development processing fees as items that are not defined as taxes:
● A charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payer that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reaso nable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege [Art. XIII, C, 1(e)(1)].
04/22/2025 Item No.14.
3 ● A charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product [Art. XIII, C, 1(e)(2)].
● A charge imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to a local government for issuing licenses and permits, performing investi gations, inspections, and audits, enforcing agricultural marketing orders, and the administrative enforcement and adjudication thereof [Art. XIII, C, 1(e)(3)].
Section 66014(a) of the California Government Code includes the following, “ Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when a local agency charges fees for zoning variances; zoning changes; use permits; building inspections; building permits; ...the processing of maps under the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act...; or planning services...; thos e fees may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged, unless a question regarding the amount of the fee charged in excess of the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services or materials is submit ted to, and approved by, a popular vote of two -thirds of those electors voting on the issue”.
The outcomes and recommendations of the fee study were intended to comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws including providing confirmation that the proposed fees (“charges”) recommended as a result of the fee study are not taxes as defined in Article XIII C of the California Constitution and th at the proposed fees are no more than necessary to the cover the reasonable costs of the City’s activities and services addressed in the fees. Additionally, the Planning fee study and modified Engineering Fee Schedule (refer to Attachments 2 and 4 respectively) show that the manner in which the costs are allocated to a pay or bear a fair and reasonable relationship to the payor’s burdens on, or benefits received from the activities and services provided by the City.
ANALYSIS
PLANNING CHANGES
The Planning Division made several proposed modifications to the fee schedule to reflect costs associated with the permit and project reviews including:
Flat Fees : Implementing flat fees for most Planning services rather than the existing deposit-based fees to better reflect the necessary level of staff effort to support review of the proposed projects and permits.
Higher Fees for Complex Entitlements : Substantially increasing fees for larger Commission-level Planning entitlements (including Annexations, D evelopment Agreement processing, Code Amendments, General Plan Amendments, Rezones, Specific Plans, Condominium Conversions, Multi-Family/Commercial Variances, and Landmark Tree Declassifications) to cover full costs.
04/22/2025 Item No.14.
4 Lower Fees : L owering fees that did not fall in line with estimated staff time spent (including Planned Development Modifications and Tentative Map Amendments), while still recovering full costs.
Design Review Fee Changes : Increasing the cost for Design Review of new pr imary structures to recover full costs and increasing the cost of Design Review of existing primary structures and new accessory structures to recover partial costs. Appeal Fees: Increasing the fees for appeals to cover a more significant portion of staff time that goes into preparing appeals for Planning Commission and City Council and ensuring that the appeal fees are similar to those fees of comparable jurisdictions in the region.
New Fee: Adding a new fee for staff-level Minor Administrative Modifications.
Flat Fees vs. Deposit-Based Fees
Staff considered using mostly deposit-based fees that would reflect the actual staff time spent on each project or permit for Planning and Engineering fees. There are several jurisdictions in the area that utilize deposit-based fees, including Rancho Cordova, Elk Grove and Roseville. The City of Folsom’s existing fee schedule currently lists the majority of fees for Planning services as deposit-based fees. However, CDD is not currently set up with the staffing, accounti ng bookkeeping, and monitoring resources to track both departmental hours and hours from other departments and process the refunds and invoices for the volume of project entitlements and permits that are seen annually. As such, it has not been feasible for staff to collect funds beyond the amount collected for the initial deposit. In accordance with these limitations, the majority of fees proposed are flat fees. These flat fees were developed based on the estimated time it takes to process an “average” project or permit of that type. Furthermore, the additional fee sub-types and fee schedule restructuring described above help provide a more realistic set of fees that better capture staff time spent processing and reviewing permits and projects.
While deposit-based fees were not deemed feasible for most permits and projects, staff did identify certain more complex projects to be administered using a “time and materials” billing approach.
For these fees, staff would collect an initial deposit and bill against that deposit for the costs of outside consultant review and support, and in-house labor efforts, and either request replenishment of funds or refund the unused deposit amount as appropr iate. Examples of deposit -based fees include annexation s, development agreement s, and specific plan processing, as well as environmental (CEQA) review. Staff has also included “time and materials” fees for costs associated with outside agency review/servic es, and outside expertise related to appeals that require additional resources beyond those covered in the scope of the fee schedule. These are considered pass-through fees with administrative oversight. If it’s the Council’s desire to pursue implementing a deposit-based fee structure, additional staffing would be needed to support that effort.

5 Appeal Fees
For staff-level and Commission -level decisions, staff performed a regional analysis to see how other similarly sized jurisdictions were charging for Planning appeals. Staff found that the City of Elk Grove has a $2,500 flat fee for third -party appeals and a $3,000 deposit fee for applicant appeals with time -and-materials costs billed to the applicant. The Cites of Rocklin and Rancho Cordova and both utilize flat appeal fees in the $4, 300 to $5,300 range, and do not differentiate between applicants and third parties. The City of Roseville utilizes relatively low appeal fees, but those fees are meant to cover administrative costs only, and the project applicant is responsible for paying any subsequent time and material costs incurred by staff. Actual appeal fees for Roseville typically range from $2,080 to $5,530.
In addition to the fee adjustment for Planning appeals, staff also recommend consolidating the fee categories for the type of appellants. Currently, there are two categories of appellants: Owner - occupied and Developer/Other. These categories have occasionally led to confusion. As a result, staff recommend eliminating the two different categor ies for appellants and instead using one appeal fee based on the type of appeal (i.e., staff -level decision appeal or Commission -level appeal) as Roseville, Rocklin and Rancho Cordova have done.

Minor Administrative Modification Fee
Along with the changes to the Appeal fees, Planning staff added a new fe e for Minor Administrative Modifications (M AMs). As described in Section 13 of the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan, MAMs are minor adjustments to the land use locations and parcel boundaries that are subject to a staff -level analysis . However, no specific fee had been established for these projects. Historically, staff c harged applicants the site design review fee, but this new fee will make it clear to applicants and the public what the review cost is.
Balancing Full Cost Recovery with Other City Objectives Consistent with Section 3.50.040 of the Folsom Municipal Code (FMC), most of the Planning fee levels are now set at or near full cost recovery. However, there are a few exceptions as described below with the percentage of cost recovery listed in parentheses:
04/22/2025 Item No.14.
6 1. Appeal of a Staff Decision (58% cost recovery) and Appeal of a Commission Decision (69% cost recovery): Based on the feedback from Council and the public, staff reduced the amount of the fee. As shown in Table 1, the proposed City appeal fees are well within the range of appeal fees for other jurisdictions.
2. Design Review (62% to 85% cost recovery): Design review is important because the built environment as well as the natural environment make Folsom what it is. However, the challenge with design reviews, particularly those that require Commission review and approval, is that they do involve ample staff time, but keeping the fee at full cost recovery would result in fee levels that could discourage homeowners and small businesses from obtaining design review approval. It would also result in fees that are substantially higher than those of surrounding jurisdictions. As discussed below, this points to a need to change the City’s design review process to bring staff time in line with design review fees. This is one of the objectives of the Zoning Code update that is underway.
3. Historic District Design Review Fees : Most projects in the Historic District require Commission-level design review which means that staff have to do research, prepare a staff report and presentation for each design review or demolition project. As a result, the amount of staff time is significant. Charging full cost recovery would deter most homeowners and small businesses from seeking design review. Instead, applicants may either avoid making improvements or may simply try to submit for bu ilding permits without getting design review approval first or avoid going through the City for approval altogether. When that happens, it actually takes staff and the applicant more time and effort.
Instead, staff have set the Planning fees to be the same citywide regardless of whether the project is in the Historic District or not.
a. Existing Historic District Single- and Two-Family Dwelling/Accessory Structure/Demolition (15% cost recovery)
b. New Historic District Single Family, Two-Family Dwelling and Non-Exempted ADU (23% cost recovery)
c. Existing Historic District Multi-Family/Commercial Structure (64% cost recovery)
4. Entertainment Permit (46% cost recovery ): Entertainment permits are required for businesses in the Sutter Street subarea of the Historic District that have live amplified music, dancing, karaoke, etc. The Entertainment Permit was put in place to set uninform rules and better manage nightclub -related activities, which have been problematic in the past. Typically, processing entertainment permit applications takes about 2 hours of staff time, which includes Planning staff and City Manager review, resulting in a full cost recovery fee of $432. Sin ce the City wants to encourage businesses to obtain an entertainment permit whenever they have nightclub-related activities, the fee was reduced to $200. If the fee is set too high, businesses will likely avoid getting the permit , which then becomes a Code Enforcement matter, leading to additional staff costs.
04/22/2025 Item No.14.
7 5. Landmark Tree Classification (25% cost recovery): Given the City’s motto of “distinctive by nature”, its focus on tree preservation, and its General Plan policy goals, the Landmark Tree Classification fee was set at about 25% of actual staff time to encourage property owners to nominate more trees for landmark status and protection.
6. Opinion on a Planning Matter (46% cost recovery): The purpose of both the Opinion on a Planning Matter fee and the Preliminary Project Review fee is to provide applicants with early input to ensure that they prepare a complete application. This benefits not only the applicant but CDD staff, since staff are more likely to receive a complete and comprehensive application. As a result, staff are proposing to actually lower this fee from $258 to $200 as we want to encourage applicants to reach out to us early to reduce staff time later in the process after they’ve applied for their entitlements.
7. Preliminary Projec t Review (39% cost recovery ): As noted above, Preliminary Project Reviews are very helpful to staff and applicants on complex entitlement projects. These reviews are something that the Community Development Department wants to encourage because it reduces the amount of work involved after application submittal. Nonetheless, staff is proposing to increase the fee from $656 to $1,000; however, raising the fee further to cover 100% of staff costs would result in few projects using this beneficial early review process.
8. Sidewalk Vendor Permit (12% cost recovery ): This permit was created as a result of Council direction due to community concerns over unlicensed street vendors that were selling food and merchandise on City sidewalks. To encourage vendors to apply, the fee was initially set to $0. Staff are now proposing to raise the permit to $50. While this covers only a fraction of staff time, a fee that is any higher would discourage vendors from applying. As it is, few vendors have applied for this since this permit was created in 2021.
Most vendors are handled by Code Enforcement instead.
9. Variance Review – Single Family Dwelling (48% cost recovery): The fee for a variance for single-family home has been increased from $1,686 to $2,500. However, this still does not cover the entire cost of staff time given that this involves research, preparation of a staff report and a presentation to either the Historic District Commission or the Planning Commission. While staff proposes full cost recovery for variances on non-single-family properties, we are proposing a decreased cost for single -family properties to avoid over - burdening individual homeowners that are attempting to improve a property that may have unique physical characteristics that could warrant a variance.
Overall, staff has tried to strike a balance between full cost recovery and encouraging homeowners and developers to follow City regulations. Increasing fees beyond those of other similar jurisdictions to cover staff times risks deterring individuals from doing business in Folsom, but more importantly it raises important questions about the City’s development processe s. For example, one of the biggest factors affecting the amount of staff time involved in development
