CITY MANAGER REPORTS
City Manager Bryan Whitemyer provided an update on the Folsom Water Infrastructure Project, noting that approximately 31% is complete. He also warned the public about recent email scams impersonating city staff and emphasized that staff will never request wire transfers or use non-city email addresses. On public safety, Mr. Whitemyer highlighted a recent conviction in a fentanyl overdose case, where the Folsom Police Department’s Special Investigations Unit played a key role. He reminded the public to observe safety at railroad crossings and thanked all who participated in the recent Wildfire Preparedness Open House. Lastly, congratulations were extended to Folsom PD’s Team Liberty for winning the Battle of the Badges Blood Drive, with thanks to all blood donors who participated.
COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Rohrbough thanked Mayor Aquino for graciously hosting a recent gathering at her home for the Executive Management Team and their families. She expressed appreciation for the warm and welcoming atmosphere and noted it was a great opportunity to connect with colleagues and meet their families.
Councilmember Leary echoed appreciation for the recent event hosted by Mayor Aquino, complimenting her hospitality. She thanked staff for their support on challenging issues, including Natoma Station L&L matters, and the budget. She wished Communications Director Christine Brainerd a happy birthday and commended her efforts in helping communicate key issues to the public.
Councilmember Leary also spoke about her visit to the new UC Davis facility in Folsom, expressing pride in the institution as both her alma mater and former employer. She also noted progress at the new Marriott Hotel site and reflected on her role, alongside Vice Mayor Raithel, in approving both projects while serving on the Planning Commission. Finally, she encouraged residents particularly those in Natoma Station to sign up for Community Service Day projects, emphasizing the importance of community engagement and collective effort.
Mayor Aquino reported on her attendance at the Greater Sacramento Economic Council (GSEC) Board Retreat, highlighting a presentation by site selection expert Bob Hess of Newmark. Mr. Hess, who previously assisted with bringing Intel to Folsom, has been retained to conduct a reverse site selection analysis to enhance the Sacramento region’s appeal to industries such as semiconductor and EV battery manufacturing. She noted key factors in site selection include energy cost and availability, land availability, and permitting speed. Mr. Hess also emphasized the importance of strong educational infrastructure, quality of place, and civic pride—qualities Mayor Aquino noted are present in Folsom.
Additionally, she shared that the Sacramento region has achieved compliance with the 2008 ozone standard after years of being in severe non-attainment. As a board member of the local air quality district, she announced that a ceremony recognizing this milestone is expected later this year, likely at the air monitoring station behind City Hall.
