RE: Response to Request for Proposals for the City of Folsom Condition Assessment for the Water Treatment Plant and Booster Pump Station Facilities
Dear Bryson:
West Yost is pleased to submit our cost proposal for the City of Folsom's (City) Condition Assessment of the City of Folsom’s Water Treatment Plant and Booster Pump Station facilities. Our proposed fee reflects a clear understanding of the project scope, operational priorities, and the level of technical rigor required to deliver a defensible, risk-based condition assessment. The cost proposal aligns directly with our technical approach, including a comprehensive Level 1 assessment of all assets and targeted use of specialized resources where they add measurable value.
The RFP assumes a baseline of 900 total project hours. Our base Scope of Services is consistent with this assumption. West Yost will perform the Scope of Services as described in our proposal, provided under separate cover, on a time-and-materials basis at the hourly billing rates as shown in the attached cost proposal table and billing rate schedule with a not to exceed amount of $275,443.
The proposal includes 320 additional hours associated with Optional Tasks 4.1, 4.3, and 4.4, which we believe meaningfully enhance the City’s ability to translate condition findings into actionable, long-term planning decisions. These tasks are identified separately, as required by the RFP and briefly described as follows:
■ Optional Task 4.1, Criticality Assessment, converts condition data into risk by accounting for operational consequence, supporting defensible prioritization. ($16,312)
■ Optional Task 4.2, Performance Data Analysis, links asset condition to historical water quality and operational performance. ($32,780) The costs in the attached table are shown as “strike-out” as the City has elected to not pursue this optional service.
■ Optional Task 4.3, Level 2 Field Assessment, resolves key uncertainties identified during Level 1 inspections through targeted investigation. ($58,755)
■ Optional Task 4.4, Long-Term Project Cost Estimate and Schedule, supports integration of recommendations into multi- year capital planning and CIP development. ($23,360)
These optional tasks directly support the City’s goals for transparency, defensibility, and long-term asset management and justify the modest increase in total hours when selected. The City has elected to move forward with Optional Tasks 4.1, 4.3, and 4.4. The total project cost is now a not to exceed amount of $373,870.
We appreciate the opportunity to submit our cost proposal and look forward to continuing our partnership with the City of Folsom. Please contact us with any questions regarding this submittal.
Sincerely,
West Yost

Re: Request for Proposals for Condition Assessment fo r the Water Treatment Plant and Water Booster Pump Station Facilities
Dear Bryson:
When I first learned of this RFP, I immediately thought of several local subject matter experts I know who could support me in performing a condition assessment of the water plant and booster pump stations that provide the most meaningful results and outcome to the city I call home. I am therefore pleased, on behalf of NCS Engineering (NCS) and Sutro Consultants (Sutro), to submit this proposal to the City of Folsom (City). I believe this team provides the best value to the City for the following reasons:
Our People: In addition to my 34+ years of experience designing new or improvements to existing water treatment plants, I am supported by professionals with significant condition assessment experience:
Adam Butler, P.E. (Sutro) has extensive experience developing condition assessments and enhanced asset management through data-driven solutions, technology, and collaboration. Among his accomplishments, he completed a Master Plan and Condition Assessments fo r the Stockton East Water District WTP, wh ere condition scoring and risk-based prioritization were structured for integration into mobile field tools and CMMS-oriented workflows.
Matthew Mahoney (Sutro) has over 45 years of experien ce overseeing mechanical maintenance, conditio n assessments, and asset management at Central Contra Costa Sanitary District main treatment facility. Aaron Armenta, P.E. (NCS) has electrical and substation condition assessment experience. Daryl Heigher, P.E. (D&A) has performed numerous design and structural assessment projects for the City. Robert Edgerton (Helix) has performed extensive environmental reviews for the City.
Our Experience: Our team’s qualifying experience includes numerous condition assessment projects relevant to the City’s needs. Sutro Consultants is a utility-focused asset management and condition assessment firm with experience translating field observations, O&M context, and available records into consistent condition and risk ratings, remaining service life opinions, and prac tical repair/replace/CIP recommendations. This experience will allow us to hit the ground running on Day 1.
Our ideas: The optional Value-Added Enhancement task we present in our proposal provides more robust data for high consequence/critical equipment, particularly for booster pump stations, and reduces uncertainty inherent in one-time field snapshots. Such optimization will translate into long-term cost savings for the City.
Please call (916) 812-2166 or email me at rkohne@ncseng. com if you have any questions or need any additional information.
Sincerely,
NCS ENGINEERING, PC

City of Folsom - Utilities Department PROPOSAL Condition Assessment for the Water Treatment Plant & Water Booster Pump Station Facilities NCS Engineering, PC 1 1) PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Like many cities and utilities across the country, Folsom is faced with having to do more with less. While more and more people move to this wonderful community to enjoy its many benefits and features, its aging infrastructure is pushed to deliver the highest drinking water quality under this growing strain. Fortunately, the City employs professionals who are dedicated to delivering an equally high level of service to its residents and customers. The City has done an exemplary job of maintaining its infrastructure with its available level of funding.
The City of Folsom’s Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and Booster Pump Station (BPS) facilities represent critical infrastructure with diverse asset types, varying ages, and complex operational requirements. The City recognizes it must perform a comprehensive condition assessment of these facilities and develop an implementation and spending plan that it can ultimately take before City Council. While the water system is funded largely through its Enterprise/Water Operating Fund (vs General fund), the City wants to continue to demonstrate that it is a good steward of the public’s money by prioritizing its infrastructure needs and spending.
Successfully completing a comprehensive condition assessment requires not only technical expertise across multiple disciplines, but also an understanding of operational constraints, data variability, and the need to translate engineering findings into actionable capital planning decisions. The findings and cost estimates from the condition assessment will likely be incorporated into the update of the City’s overall Water Master Plan, currently scheduled to begin later in 2026.
The City’s water plant has a long history, with much of the current treatment facilities having been constructed in the 1990s and 2000s. The City’s various BPSs have a similar history, with most of facilities having been originally construction in the early 2000s. The Zone 5 South BPS and Zone 6 South BPS were constructed more recently to serve the Folsom Plan Area/South of 50 development. Other recent upgrades to the older pump stations were presented in the RFP and are summarized below:
BPS Facility Year Work
Zone 4 2019/2020 Rebuilt pumps and motors
2021 Replaced generator with larger capacity to operate all three booster pumps Zone 5 North 2016 - 2018 Rebuilt all pumps
Zone 6 North 2021 - 2022 Rebuilt both 25 hp pumps
Zone 6 South 2021 Rebuilt pump No. 2
La Collina Del Lago 2020 - 2021 Replaced both 7 hp pumps This information will be useful in developing a condition assessment plan that accounts for the range in age and service life of all critical infrastructure so that we can focus the assessment on those systems and equipment whose condition is of greatest interest and concern.

City of Folsom - Utilities Department PROPOSAL Condition Assessment for the Water Treatment Plant & Water Booster Pump Station Facilities NCS Engineering, PC 3 2) PROJECT APPROACH
How the Team Will Deliver Value
The City’s goals require more than a list of observed deficiencies. They require a consistent, defensible way to translate field observations and performance data into (1) condition and remaining serviceable life, (2) risk-informed priorities, and (3) implementable recommendations with realistic cost and phasing. The Team’s approach is built around three principles:
9 Consistency across facilities and disciplines so the City can compare needs across the WTP and all BPS sites without conflicting rating scales or assumptions.
9 Decision-ready outputs that connect observed condition and performance to the right action type (repair, replace in kind, or CIP) and to a practical timeframe.
9 Traceability so every major recommendation can be tied back to documented evidence, assumptions, and engineering judgment.
Methodology That Produces Comparable, Actionable Results Rather than treating each facility and asset type as a separate mini-study, the Team will apply a common structure that makes results comparable and easy to implement.
9 Standardized rating logic: A single condition rating and remaining life estimation approach will be applied consistently across the WTP and BPS assets, with confidence levels noted where information is limited. 9 Risk-informed prioritization: Priorities will reflect both observed condition and practical consequences (service disruption, safety, regulatory, maintainability, and criticality). This keeps the output from becoming a simple list of worst-looking assets and instead highlights what matters most to operations and continuity. 9 Practical recommendations: The Team will translate findings into the City’s decision categories (repair, replace in kind, CIP) and shape each recommendation so it is implementable (clear scope intent, dependencies, and logical bundling opportunities).
Why This Approach Meets the City’s Objectives
The City wants a condition assessment that supports planning and budgeting decisions, not just documentation.
The Team’s approach is designed to directly produce what the City needs:
9 Better remaining serviceable life estimates: Life estimates will be grounded in observed condition, operating context, and known failure modes.
9 Clear prioritization: The City will receive a ranked set of needs that reflect impact and urgency, supporting capital planning and near-term maintenance decisions.
9 A bridge from assessment to implementation: Recommendations will be structured so the City can move cleanly into maintenance work planning and CIP development, with cost and schedule implications organized in a way that supports funding conversations.
Condition Assessment Standards and Methodology
The Team will apply a consistent, standards-informed methodology that translates field observations and performance testing into repeatable condition ratings, Remaining Serviceable Life estimates, and risk-informed priorities. The framework will be established during Task 1 and then applied consistently across Task 2 deliverables so results are comparable across the WTP and all BPS facilities.
Our risk and prioritization structure will align with ANSI/AWWA J100 to support a standardized and defensible approach to consequence categories, risk scoring, and communication of results. Guidance from AWWA Manual M77 will be used to inform Likelihood of Failure concepts and rating logic, and the approach will be adapted to the City’s facility and equipment asset classes. Electrical safety and reliability considerations will be evaluated using the following standards and publications:
• IEEE Standard 493 (Gold Book)
• NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code)
• NFPA 70B
• NFPA 70E
Additionally, manufacturer information will be used as references for equipment life expectations, reliability considerations, and maintenance-based condition indicators.
In practice, these standards will be used to: 1) define condition criteria and rating thresholds by asset type, 2) document safety and compliance observations consistently, and 3) support clear repair, replace in kind, or CIP recommendations with traceable justification. The Team will calibrate scoring assumptions to the City’s asset inventory, operating context, and risk tolerance during Task 1, then carry those calibrated criteria through inspection/testing (Task 2b), evaluation and alternatives (Task 2c), and the resulting cost and phasing recommendations (Task 2d).

City of Folsom - Utilities Department PROPOSAL Condition Assessment for the Water Treatment Plant & Water Booster Pump Station Facilities NCS Engineering, PC 4 Example of Condition Assessment Ranking and Criteria
Assessment
Ranking Assessment Criteria
1 Excellent condition, new or like new. No known defects. 2 Good condition. Minor defects only.
(e.g., minor coating damage).
3 Fair condition. Moderate deterioration.
(e.g., pitting <30% wall thickness).
4 Poor condition. Significant deterioration.
(e.g., pitting >50%, prior history of breaks).
5 Very Poor. Failure imminent or asset is physically failed.
Value-Added Enhancement Strategy
As we will describe in our Scope of Services section, a value-added optional task of temporary sensor-based monitoring is positioned as a targeted way to strengthen confidence for the highest-criticality assets by correlating snapshot observations with real operating behavior over time. The approach is intentionally designed to minimize disruption and maximize value by integrating sensor planning and installation with the primary field effort, rather than creating a separate project.
This value-added strategy will provide even more benefit to the pump performance evaluation, which will be used to answer the questions that matter for action selection and timing: whether deficiencies are primarily operational (controls, operating point, system losses), mechanical (pump condition), or programmatic (replace vs rehabilitate), and whether improvements are best addressed as maintenance actions or capital projects. This allows the pump performance work to directly inform the repair/replace/CIP categorization and cost-phasing recommendations.
Management and Coordination Approach
The Team will run the project with clear roles, predictable touchpoints, and disciplined integration across technical disciplines.
9 Single point of coordination: NCS, as Prime, will lead overall project management, schedule tracking, City coordination, and consolidated deliverable assembly to keep execution streamlined and responsive. 9 Integrated technical delivery: Sutro will lead the condition assessment framework (ratings structure, field capture consistency, and prioritization approach) and lead mechanical assessments and synthesis into implementable recommendations. The Team’s discipline leads will own technical evaluations and cost inputs for their respective asset types, coordinated through a shared set of assumptions and documentation standards. 9 City engagement designed to reduce rework: The Team will align early on access constraints, operational sensitivities, and how the City wants recommendations organized. That alignment prevents late-stage reshuffling of priorities and improves confidence in the final phasing plan.
Quality Control and Deliverable Confidence
The Team will maintain credibility and usability of the final outputs through simple, repeatable QA/QC steps:
9 Internal consistency checks to confirm that ratings, remaining life assumptions, and recommendation categories align across disciplines and facilities.
9 Traceability checks to confirm that major recommendations are supported by documented observations, calculations where applicable, and stated assumptions.
9 Draft review workshop with City staff to validate priorities, incorporate operational context, and minimize surprises before finalization.

Breakdown of Professional Hours for Baseline Condition Assessment
03/02/2026 Item No.7.
City of Folsom - Utilities Department PROPOSAL Condition Assessment for the Water Treatment Plant & Water Booster Pump Station Facilities NCS Engineering, PC 8 3.2 Optional & Value-Added Assessment Tasks
The following describes scope items we have considered to be beyond the 900 hours in the Baseline Scope as well as Value- Added Enhancement suggestions to further benefit the City is achieving its goals for the overall condition assessment.
Optional Tasks - Exceeding 900 Hour Baseline
Based on our Team’s experience (see Section 5 and resumes), we believe that the City’s stated baseline budget of 900 hours may not be quite sufficient to fully assess the condition or operational efficiency as stated in the RFP. Per the instructions in the RFP, we have identified the below scope items as being “optional” or “additional” to the baseline scope. We have made an estimate of the number of hours to fulfill these additional tasks; however, we would like the opportunity to revisit these estimates with the City to more fully develop the final scope for these items. a - Filter surveillance (WTP Facilities RFP Task 1a).
Our baseline scope includes a review of the City’s media records and assessing this in relation to AWWA B100 standards for new media. During the pre-proposal site visit, it was stated that it is acceptable that the Condition Assessment project recommend a more detailed granular filter media evaluation, including core sampling, excavation, and media testing (effective size, uniformity coefficient).
b - Operational assessment and optimization of screw press, tanks, dredging (WTP Facilities, RFP Task 1.b).
Our baseline scope includes the same condition assessment procedure for the solids handling equipment as the rest of the facilities. However, during the pre-proposal site visit we were informed that there are numerous operational issues associated with the overall solids handling facilities. It is our experience that solids handling is often the “Achilles heel” at many otherwise well operated facilities. This optional task would include a more comprehensive evaluation of the entire solids handling facilities to reduce labor and improve efficiency. c - Feasibility of demolition of old raw water feed system (WTP Facilities RFP Task 1.h) Our baseline scope includes a cursory, high-level assessment of potential impacts to WTP operations. This optional task would include additional site planning and layout development to assess and visualize potential vehicle and equipment storage concepts.
d. - Pump efficiency evaluation (WTP Facilities RFP Task 1.c.viii to xii; BPS Facilities RFP Task 2.a.viii to xii) Our baseline scope includes the same condition assessment procedure at all nine (9) booster pumps as the rest of the WTP facilities. Our interpretation of the City’s RFP suggests that the City seeks to perform a more comprehensive evaluation of its distribution pumping operations throughout its distribution system, similar to an evaluation that the San Juan Water District (SJWD) recently performed, in order to better understand their current conditions and ways to optimize performance and save in overall pumping costs. Based on peer agency benchmarking (including SJWD), similar evaluations have required meaningful effort from both agency staff and the consultant.
The RFP requires field data collection and system curve development for pump performance evaluation. To ensure testing is safe, efficient, and produces representative results, the Team recommends confirming in the Assessment Plan:
• Which operating points are feasible at each station (based on redundancy, demand, and control logic) • Availability/accuracy of existing instrumentation or need for temporary metering • Any constraints on taking pumps offline or shifting operations for test purposes Where one-time testing may not capture variability across changing demand conditions, the optional 6-month sensor- based operational assessment can provide a complementary dataset that improves confidence in conclusions related to performance, efficiency, and Remaining Serviceable Life.
Breakdown of Professional Hours for Optional Condition Assessment Tasks
03/02/2026 Item No.7.
City of Folsom - Utilities Department PROPOSAL Condition Assessment for the Water Treatment Plant & Water Booster Pump Station Facilities NCS Engineering, PC 9 Value-Added Enhancement Task - Extended Condition Assessment Using Temporary Sensors on the Most Critical Assets
If the City elects to include both the pump efficiency evaluation and the extended sensor-based assessment, the combined dataset significantly increases the value of both efforts. Pump testing provides calibrated snapshots of system curves, operating points, and efficiency at the time of testing. The temporary sensors then provide continuous operating data over changing demand conditions, allowing the Team to correlate tested performance with how the pumps actually run day-to-day, quantify variability, and distinguish hydraulic inefficiency from emerging mechanical or electrical condition issues. This strengthens savings estimates, improves confidence in recommended operational improvements, and supports more defensible Remaining Serviceable Life conclusions for critical rotating equipment.
This optional task would supplement the baseline “snapshot” condition assessment with time-series monitoring on the City’s top 5-10 most critical assets to improve confidence in condition and risk findings, correlate condition trends to operating context (including VFD operating indicators where available), and support a practical path toward condition- based maintenance strategies.
The figures below show an example sensor and the corresponding data that Sutro currently has installed at another California water district’s treatment plant on a critical pump.
To enhance the long-term value of the assessment and strengthen Remaining Serviceable Life conclusions for critical rotating equipment, the Team may propose an optional task to correlate visual condition assessment findings with an operational condition assessment over an extended period.
Value-Added Task Concept
• Identify a small subset of critical pumps/motors (e.g., 2–6 assets across representative stations) • Install temporary or semi-permanent sensors to track operational indicators such as vibration, temperature, and power (where feasible) over ~six months
• Correlate measured operational behavior (including variability by demand/season/operating point) with the Team’s visual condition ratings and pump performance testing snapshots • Use results to refine Remaining Serviceable Life assumptions, improve confidence in repair vs. replacement recommendations, and provide a foundation for longer-term condition-based maintenance practices • Use continuous operating indicators (power and, where available, VFD speed/operating state) to map actual operating time across the tested pump curves and identify how frequently pumps operate near or away from best efficiency points, improving confidence in optimization recommendations.
Why it helps
This optional task provides long-term data and reduces uncertainty inherent in one-time field snapshots - particularly where operating points vary or intermittent issues occur.

• Framework + correlation methodology (Lead: Sutro)
• Deployment coordination / schedule integration (Lead: NCS) • Interpretation (Lead: mechanical/electrical discipline leads as applicable) Value-Added Scope Subtasks
1. Risk-Based Candidate Asset Selection (Desktop)
9 Beyond what’s completed in Task 1, review available asset and O&M information (as necessary) to develop a preliminary shortlist of candidate assets for sensor deployment (targeting the highest consequence/critical equipment).
9 Identify proposed sensor types, placement, and monitoring duration for each candidate asset.
2. Work Plan Documentation Review and Approval

9 Refine the final list of instrumented assets based on verified field findings.
3. On-Site Sensor Installation
9 Coordinate sensor installation during the on-site condition assessment visit for the approved asset list to minimize additional mobilizations and avoid impacts to operations. 9 Install temporary sensors and a communications gateway (protocol converter, as needed), then configure and verify end-to-end data connectivity (power, network/cellular, and data transmission to the reporting platform).
9 Document sensor locations/IDs and confirm removal plan at the end of the monitoring period.
4. Monitoring Period (Up to 6 Months) + Data Review
9 Collect time-series condition data for the instrumented assets over an agreed monitoring period (up to 6 months).
9 Correlate sensor data with operational context and available operating indicators (including VFD-derived operating indicators where accessible).
5. Findings, Recommendations, and Maintenance Enablement Concepts 9 Summarize monitoring results and implications for condition, failure modes, and remaining service life for the instrumented assets.
9 If compatible with the City’s maintenance software environment and policies, outline a straightforward approach to generate condition-based preventative maintenance work orders.
Deliverables
9 Sensor Deployment Plan (include in the Condition Assessment Work Plan for City review/approval): target assets, sensor types/locations, monitoring duration, and access/safety notes. 9 Installed Sensor Log: instrumented assets, sensor IDs/locations, install dates, and basic commissioning checks. 9 Extended Condition Monitoring Summary Memo / Report Section: key trends, anomalies, correlation to operating context, and recommended actions for the instrumented assets. 9 Optional CMMS/PM Enablement Concept (if feasible): high-level workflow for condition-triggered maintenance actions.
Assumptions and Exclusions
• Sensor deployment is optional, with fee shown separately from the base RFP scope, consistent with the City’s instructions.
• Sensors are assumed to be temporary / non-invasive and installed to support condition assessment findings (not permanent plant upgrades).
• Any direct integration to City systems (CMMS/EAM/SCADA/network access) is subject to City IT/security policies and may be proposed as an additional sub-option if desired.
Breakdown of Professional Hours for Value-Added Enhancement Task We estimate the overall level of effort for this Value-Added Scope to be around 50 additional labor hours, and a total cost, including equipment rental, to be around $17,500.

Organizational Chart
Roger Kohne, P.E. - Project Manager
Mr. Kohne has over 34 years of professional engineering experience, nearly all of it related to water treatment, storage, and distribution. Most of his earlier project experiences involved water treatment, including new and rehabilitating or expanding existing facilities. His resume at the back of this proposal lists many of his relevant water projects - a few are highlighted below:
Water Treatment Facilities
Modesto Irrigation District (MID) Regional WTP Phase 2 Expansion Mr. Kohne was Project Engineer for the expansion of MID’s conventional (e.g. with sedimentation pretreatment and media filters) water plant from 30 MGD to 60 MGD. The original plant was constructed in the mid 1990s, and while the original plant had been very well maintained, many pieces of equipment were nearing the end of their serviceable life or needed to be modified to meet changing water quality and treatment conditions. Specific areas of focus for the expansion included:

ITEM TITLE: Resolution No. 11558 - A Resolution Amending Resolution No. 9341 to Modify the Eligibility Requirements for the Program for Local Assistance Youth Recreation Scholarship (PLAYRS) to be Administered by the Parks & Recreation Department in the amount of $10,000 in the General Fund (Fund 010) Parks & Recreation Department, and Changing the Program Name to “Scholarship Promoting Activity, Recreation, and Knowledge for All (SPARK)”
FROM: Parks and Recreation Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. 11558 - A Resolution Amending Resolution No. 9341 to Modify the Eligibility Requirements for the Program for Local Assistance Youth Recreation Scholarship (PLAYRS) to be Administered by the Parks & Recreation Department in the amount of $10,000 in the General Fund (Fund 010) Parks & Recreation Department, and Changing the Program name to “Scholarship Promoting Activity, Recreation, and Knowledge for All (SPARK).”
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The Program for Local Assistance Youth Recreation Scholarships (PLAYRS) was established by the City Council in April 2014 to ensure that finan cial constraints do not prevent Folsom youth from participating in the City’s fee-based Parks & Recreation programs. The program was designed to remove cost barriers that could otherwi se limit access to the educational, social, and physical benefits associated with organized recreation activities.
Since its inception, the program has operated with an annual funding cap of $10,000, which has been appropriated annually beginning in Fiscal Year 2014/15.
03/02/2026 Item No.8.
2 In April 2024, the City Council approved program mo difications to improve accessibility and effectiveness. These updates included increasing th e maximum scholarship award from $100 to $250 per participant per year (defined as a rolling 12-month period) and eliminating the prior requirement for families to provide a 50 percent ma tching contribution. These changes were intended to further reduce financial barriers and increase program utilization among eligible youth.
Over the past five years, the scholarship program has experienced consistent growth, providing an increased number of scholarships to youth in the Fo lsom community and reflecting continued demand for financial assistance (Table A).

FY 2023-24 $7,950.00 41
FY 2024-25 $8,250.00 44
POLICY / RULE
In accordance with standard municipal practice, an amendment or repeal of an adopted resolution should be completed through a subsequent resolution.
ANALYSIS
The Parks & Recreation Department currently adminis ters a scholarship program intended to reduce financial barriers and increase access to pa rticipation in the City of Folsom Parks & Recreation fee-based programs. The program was originally established to serve youth. However, recent increases in inquiries from active adults and senior residents seeking financial assistance to participate in fee-based activities demonstrate a g rowing community need and present the opportunity to further align the program with the D epartment’s core values of promoting health and wellness and providing services to the communit y. Staff is recommending removing the age requirement for receiving these scholarships.
The scholarship program will continue to operate wi thin the approved annual allocation of $10,000. Staff proposes that 75 percent of availabl e funds be designated for youth scholarships, with the remaining 25 percent allocated to adult an d senior participants. Program utilization will be monitored throughout the fiscal year, and staff may adjust funding allocations, as appropriate, based on participation levels, requests, and available funding. The Parks & Recreation Department will continue to evaluate the program on an annual basis and will return to the City Council with any recommended policy or funding adjustments.
Eligibility requirements for receipt of scholarship funds, with the exception of age criteria, shall remain unchanged. Applicants who have been awarded a scholarship within the previous 12 months shall not be eligible to reapply.
03/02/2026 Item No.8.

RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Human Resources Director recommends that the City Council pass and adopt the following resolutions:
i. No. 11560 – A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Side Letter of Agreement Between the City of Folsom and the FPMA Regarding Longevity Pay
03/02/2026 Item No.9.

No. 11563 – A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Side Letter of Agreement Between the City of Folsom and the CFFDMME Regarding Holiday in Lieu Pay
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) has denied inclusion of Longevity Pay and Holiday in Lieu (HIL) Pay in certain employees’ final compensation calculations due to the language contained within the applicable Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) not fully conforming to CalPERS regulatory requirements governing special compensation.
Although these compensation elements have historically been paid pursuant to adopted MOUs, CalPERS has determined that the contractual language must specifically align with its regulatory standards in order for the compensation to qualify as pensionable and be included in final compensation calculations.
CalPERS has advised the City that corrective language must be adopted and that such language must be made retroactively effective to the dates when these compensation elements were originally implemented.
The affected bargaining units are:
• Folsom Police Management Association
• City of Folsom Fire Department Middle Management Employees
The original effective dates of the compensation provisions are as follows:
CFFDMME
• Longevity Pay – Effective March 1, 2001
• Holiday in Lieu Pay – Effective April 1, 2011
FPMA
• Longevity Pay – Effective January 1, 2001
• Holiday in Lieu Pay – Effective July 1, 2010
The proposed side letters incorporate CalPERS -approved language and expressly apply retroactively to the dates listed above.
03/02/2026 Item No.9.
3 POLICY / RULE
Government Code Title 1, Division 4, Chapter 10, commonly known as the Meyers -Milias- Brown Act (MMBA), requires public agencies to meet and confer in good faith with recognized employee organizations regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment.
The proposed side letters were negotiated in accordance with the MMBA and incorporate language consistent with CalPERS regulations governing special compensation and final compensation determinations.
ANALYSIS and FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed side letters do not establish new compensation or increase existing compensation levels. The pay elements at issue have been in place for many years.
There is no new fiscal impact associated with the compensation itself. Approval ensures compliance and preserves the City’s intended retirement treatment of these long-standing pay provisions.

The Human Resources Director recommends that the City Council pass and adopt the following resolutions:
i. Resolution No. 11564 – A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Side Letter of Agreement Between the City of Folsom and the FPOA Regarding Shift Rotation Schedule
ii. Resolution No. 11565 – A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Side Letter of Agreement Between the City of Folsom and the FPOA Regarding Specialty Pay
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The City of Folsom and the Folsom Police Officers Association (FPOA) had a meet and confer in good faith to execute two Side Letters to clarify and update provisions in the current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2028.
03/02/2026 Item No.10.
2 The first Side Letter updates shift rotations for personnel, specifying that rotations will occur in April and October. This operational change provides clarity and consistency in scheduling.
The second Side Letter addresses Specialty Pay . In addition to clarifying the time basis for payment, this Side Letter includes a Police Department division that was previously excluded from Article V, Section I of the MOU, ensuring its members are entitled to the same Specialty Pay. These changes also confirm that such compensation will be reported to CalPERS as applicable, ensuring compliance with retirement regulations.
POLICY / RULE
Government Code Title 1, Division 4, Chapter 10, commonly known as the Meyers -Milias- Brown Act (MMBA), requires public agencies to meet and confer in good faith with recognized employee organizations regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment.
The proposed side letters were negotiated in accordance with the MMBA and incorporate language consistent with CalPERS regulations.
ANALYSIS and FINANCIAL IMPACT
The first Side Letter updating shift rotations does not establish new compensation or increase existing compensation levels. There is no new fiscal impact associated with the change to shift rotation schedule.
The second Side Letter addressing Specialty Pay includes the addition of one Sergeant to receive differential pay. This adjustment reflects the Sergeant’s regular and consistent assignment to the Professional Standards Unit, Administrative/Personnel Division, aligning their compensation with the responsibilities of the position. • The cost for the first year will increase salary and benefits by approximately $12,000.

AGENDA SECTION:
Public Hearing
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11539 – A Resolution of the City of Folsom Declaring Results of Majority Protest Proceedings and Modifying the Assessment Rate of the Folsom Tourism Business
Improvement District (Continued from 1/27/2026)
FROM: City Manager's Office
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council conduct the publi c/protest hearing and if a majority protest does not exist, approve Resolution No. 11539 – A Re solution of the City of Folsom Declaring Results of Majority Protest Proceedings and Modifyi ng the Assessment Rate of the Folsom Tourism Business Improvement District.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The City of Folsom established the FTBID in 2012 vi a the adoption of Resolution No. 9071, pursuant to the Parking and Business Improvement Ar ea Law of 1989 (California Streets and Highway Code § 36500 et seq.) (the “89 Law”) and Or dinance No. 1171 (which codified Folsom Municipal Code Chapter 3.100). The FTBID is a benefit assessment district that provides specific benefit directly to the Folsom lodging businesses that are assessed that is not provided to those not paying the assessment. The boundaries of the FTBID are the boundaries of the City of Folsom.
Benefit assessment districts have been used success fully in Folsom as well as other destination areas throughout the state to improve tourism and d rive additional room nights to assessed businesses. The FTBID includes all lodging business es with twenty or more rooms, existing and in the future, within the boundaries of the City of Folsom.
Resolution No. 9071 established the FTBID with an assessment rate of 4% to be levied for a term of 20 years, commencing on January 1, 2013 and ending on December 13, 2032. Assessments are levied on lodging businesses on the basis of benefit.
03/02/2026 Item No.11.
2 Folsom Tourism and Economic Development Corporation (TEDCorp), serving as the Owners’ Association for FTBID, has recommended to the lodging business owners to pursue modification of the FTBID in order to expand a revenue source de voted to marketing Folsom as a tourist, meeting, and event destination.
The 89 Law and Ordinance No. 1171 allow the Folsom City Council (Council) to modify the FTBID in accordance with Section 36540 of the 89 La w. To initiate the modification process, TEDCorp has requested that Council increase the FTBID assessment rates. The proposed modified assessment rate is eight percent (8%) of gross room rental revenue, increasing the current rate of four percent (4%) of gross room rental revenue. The additional 4% assessment will be dedicated to improvements (as defined in the 89 Law), including but not limited to development of facilities that attract overnight visitation to businesses pay ing the TBID assessment, infrastructure improvements, and marketing and development efforts directly related to the facilities and associated visitor growth. The increased assessment s will provide specific benefit to the Folsom lodging businesses that are assessed that it does not provide to those not charged. To continue the modification process, Council adopted a Resolution of Intention to Modify the FTBID. To complete the modification process, Council must adopt this Resolution of Modification.
TEDCorp staff evaluated lodging assessments (both t hrough TBIDs and Transient Occupancy Tax) in nearby jurisdictions. This information is included in Attachment 2, and indicates that an increase of 4% will not affect the competitiveness of Folsom lodging against other lodging choices in the region.
As noted in the FTBID Modification Process timeline below, the public/protest hearing was scheduled for the City Council’s January 27, 2026 meeting. TEDCorp submitted a written request to the City Council to continue the hearing to thei r February 24, 2026 meeting, and a majority of the City Council voted to continue the hearing as requested.
Assuming no majority protest at the February 24, 2026 Public Hearing, the Council could adopt a resolution of modification on the same night. The increased rate and list of authorized expenditures of the FTBID would be effective as soon as practica ble following the modification proceedings for the FTBID, which effective date is estimated for April 1, 2026.
POLICY / RULE
City of Folsom Ordinance No. 1171, codified in Fols om Municipal Code Chapter 3.100, establishes procedures for forming and modifying pa rking and business improvement areas supplemental to the 1989 Law.
ANALYSIS
TOURISM BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS
03/02/2026 Item No.11.
3 Tourism Business Improvement Districts (TBIDs) util ize the efficiencies of private sector operation in the market-based promotion of tourism. These special assessment districts allow assessed business owners to organize their efforts to increase tourism. Business owners within the TBID fund the TBID, and those funds are used to pro vide services and facilities that are desired by and benefit the assessed businesses within the TBID.
TBID benefits:
Funds cannot be diverted for other government programs; They are customized to fit the needs of each destination; They allow for a wide range of services and improve ments, including, but not limited to, destination marketing, tourism promotion, and sales lead generation; They are designed, created, and governed by those w ho will pay the assessment with oversight by the city; and
They provide a stable funding source for tourism promotion.
FTBID MODIFICATION PROCESS
Holding the final hearing, declaring results of the majority protest proceedings, and adopting this Resolution will result in the modification of the F olsom Tourism Business Improvement District (FTBID). The businesses within the FTBID shall be s pecifically benefitted by the activities and improvements funded by the assessments.
October 24, 2025 WRITTEN REQUEST (COMPLETED)
The TEDCorp, serving as Owners’ Association, has provided a letter requesting modification of the FTBID. This written request allowed the Council to initiate proceedings for FTBID modificat ion at the November 12, 2025 meeting.
November 12, 2025 RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO MODIFY FTBID (COMPLETED) Upon the written request of the Owners’ Association, the City may propose to modify the FTBID.
NOTICE (COMPLETED)
A copy of the Notice and Resolution of Intention to Modify were mailed by first class mail to the owners of all lodging busin esses within the FTBID.
Mailing the notice began a mandatory forty-five (45 ) day period in which owners may protest FTBID modification.
January 13, 2026 PUBLIC MEETING (COMPLETED)
Allow public testimony on the modification of the F TBID. No Council action required.
January 27, 2026 PUBLIC HEARING (Continued to February 24, 2026)
03/02/2026 Item No.11.
4 February 24, 2026 PUBLIC HEARING
Hold a public hearing on the proposed modificati on to the FTBID.
If written protests are received from the owners of businesses in the modified FTBID which will pay fifty percent (50%) o r more of the assessments proposed to be levied, and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the protests to less than fifty percent (50% ), no further proceedings to modify the proposed assessment against such businesses shall be taken.
If the Council, following the public hearing, decid es to modify the FTBID as described in the Resolution of Intention to Modi fy, the Council shall adopt a resolution of modification.
April 1, 2026 Target date for FTBID assessment mod ifications to take effect.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None immediately. In FY24/25, the FTBID assessments generated approximately $1,248,000 in revenue. The proposed modifications would increase the assessment rate from 4% of gross room rental revenue to 8% of gross room rental revenue. In addition, because the FTBID assessments levied on lodging businesses are intended to increa se room rentals on lodging business being assessed within the City, there may be an increase in transient occupancy tax and sales tax collections.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is not considered a project under the C alifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is therefore exempt from further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).

03/02/2026 Item No.12.
2 BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The City of Folsom has thirty existing Landscaping and Lighting Districts (Districts).
Annually, as part of the annual assessment process, an Engineer’s Report must be prepared in accordance with the requirements of Article 4 of Ch apter 1 of Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code and the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. The Fiscal Year 2026–2027 Engineer’s Report for the City’s thirty Landscaping and Lighting Districts will be prepared by the City’s consultant, NBS Government Financing Group, working with City staff.
The Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2026-27 will address all thirty Districts in one report and will be submitted to the City Council for final approval. The annual Engineer’s Report process is a three-step process, and we are currently on step one.
To improve transparency, the Council directed staff last fiscal year to include a revenue and expense table in the Engineer’s Reports moving forw ard. This table will be included in the upcoming Preliminary Engineer’s Report and will hel p to summarize and highlight those districts with an operational deficit. Annual opera tional deficits are funded from the District's pooled cash account. Any reserve fun d balance deficits are assigned to the District, are the District's ongoing financial resp onsibility. Operating deficits can be reduced through annual reserve fund collections or by reducing services provided to the District.
There are currently several Districts within the City that do not include an annual inflationary adjustment to keep the assessment rate up with the increased cost of services. Due to inadequate inflationary adjustment, these Districts have strug gled to maintain service levels consistent with the levels planned at their formation. These Districts will be slated for future Proposition 218 proceedings to allow the residents the opportun ity to vote on a new assessment rate to support the continued maintenance, as well as life cycle replacement of assets within their District. The Hannaford Cross and Briggs Ranch Dist ricts will be budgeted for Prop 218 outreach during Fiscal Year 2026-27.
Staff are currently conducting the Proposition 218 process with the residents of the Natoma Station Landscaping and Lighting District. Pursuant to Section 22605(d) of the Streets and Highways Code. The original Natoma Station Landsca ping and Lighting District will be consolidated with the Natoma Station Maintenance Assessment District No. 2025-2 if approved.
POLICY / RULE
Section 22622 of the Streets and Highways Code requires the Council to adopt a resolution directing the preparation of the Engineer’s Report as part of the annual assessment process for the Districts.
ANALYSIS
The Engineer’s Report for the thirty Districts for Fiscal Year 2026-27 will be prepared by NBS Government Financing Group (NBS). The Preliminary E ngineer’s Report is expected to be submitted for City Council review and approval on M arch 24, 2026, and the final Engineer’s Report and the public hearing is scheduled for April 14, 2026.
03/02/2026 Item No.12.
3 2/24/2026 Step 1: The resolution directing the prep aration of the Engineer’s Report. This is the first official step in the legal process. This report will be accompanied by a staff presentation.
3/24/2026 Step 2: The resolution approving the Preliminary Engineer’s Report. This item will be accompanied by a presentation detailing the contents of the Engineer's Report.
4/14/2026 Step 3: The resolution approving the Fina l Engineer’s Report, confirming the diagram of assessments, and ordering the continued maintenance and servicing of the improvements within the listed Districts. This is the final step in the annual Engineer’s Report process. This will be a Public Hearing item and will be accompanied by a staff presentation.
Included within the report for each District will be the following:
A. Plans and specifications for the maintenance of the improvements (on file in the Parks and Recreation Department)
B. Estimate of the cost of maintaining the improvements
C. Diagrams of the assessment Districts
D. Assessment of the estimated costs for maintaining the improvements
Due to the structural deficit within the existing N atoma Station Landscaping and Lighting District and the timing overlap between the Proposi tion 218 proceedings and the annual Engineer’s Report process, two separate Engineer’s Reports for Natoma Station Landscaping and Lighting District will be prepared concurrently . The Engineer’s Report, included as part of the City’s annual assessment process, assumes that the proposed assessment does not pass.
Under that scenario, service reductions exceeding $ 100,000 would be required to balance the Natoma Station Landscaping and Lighting District’s budget.
Conversely, the Engineer’s Report prepared in conne ction with the Proposition 218 ballot proceedings for the proposed Natoma Station Mainten ance Assessment District No. 2025-2 was developed under the assumption that the assessment would be approved in the absence of a majority protest. Accordingly, that report reflec ts the full assessment amount necessary to restore and enhance service levels, establish reser ves for future capital renovation and replacement needs, and address repayment of the existing deficit.
If the proposed Natoma Station Maintenance Assessme nt District No. 2025-2 is approved, pursuant to Section 22611 of the California Streets and Highways Code, all assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and installment obligations of the original Natoma Station Landscaping and Lighting District will be transferred to and as sumed by the Natoma Station Maintenance Assessment District No. 2025-2 for the continued ma intenance and servicing of the improvements. At that time, the Natoma Station Land scaping and Lighting District, included
03/02/2026 Item No.12.
4 in the comprehensive 30-District Engineer’s Report, will cease to exist, and the original Natoma Station Landscaping and Lighting District Engineer’s Report will be abandoned. More detailed information will be included in the next presentation as part of step two of the process.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Each Landscaping and Lighting District levies and collects funds to cover operating and maintenance costs. The Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget for the Districts includes funding for the preparation of the Engineer’s Report. There is no fiscal impact to the City of Folsom General Fund.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

2. Determine that the Project is Exempt from CEQA.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The Folsom Municipal Code was initially adopted by the City of Folsom in 1973 consistent with and incorporating reference to several State G overnment Code sections governing local authority, police powers, and procedures. Over the last 52 years, the Folsom Municipal Code has been amended numerous times annually to reflect legislative changes, policy changes, administrative changes and local preferences.
City staff from all departments have identified many minor code clean up items throughout the Folsom Municipal Code that should be updated to rem ove outdated references or antiquated provisions, and/or to reflect current best practice s. None of these changes are individually urgent. This report combines more than a dozen chan ges to individual sections of the Folsom Municipal Code as a minor clean up. Those items are listed briefly below, described in the analysis section, and incorporated with specific la nguage changes in track changes in the Ordinance (Attachment 1).
