CITY MANAGER REPORTS
City Manager Bryan Whitemyer updated the Council on the recent priorities workshop, noting that staff is currently integrating Council and executive goals into a comprehensive Work Plan for future ratification. He expressed disappointment regarding the developer’s decision to relocate "The Mettle Shop" sports complex project to Citrus Heights, attributing the move to that site's existing infrastructure and faster timeline to market. Additionally, the City Manager reminded the public that the Benevento Family Park survey remains open until March 11 at 5:00 p.m. and highlighted upcoming library events, including a Saturday, March 28 presentation on backyard chicken regulations and the Friends of the Folsom Library book sale scheduled for March 13–15.
COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Kozlowski reported on his attendance at the SACOG Land Use and Natural Resources Committee meeting, noting that regional housing needs allocation numbers (RHNA) are expected by September 15. He commended city staff for their success in meeting affordable housing objectives and requested that the Council consider a future workshop to discuss the city’s Sphere of Influence and annexation process. He specifically highlighted the need to rebalance the availability of residential land with light industrial and commercial space on the city's perimeter.
Vice Mayor Rohrbough provided an update on discussions between Sacramento RT and the Folsom Cordova Unified School District regarding the elimination of bus routes affecting approximately 190 students. She encouraged concerned residents to voice their priorities to the School Board, as the authority over these budget and transportation decisions rests with the district.
Councilmember Leary expressed appreciation for the success of the recent Railroad History event and shared insights from her attendance at the League of California Cities conference in Chico. She detailed her tour of a managed tiny home homeless shelter, noting the high operational costs but significant reduction in the local unhoused population, and suggested Folsom consider similar regional collaborations. Additionally, she thanked the Folsom Police Department and Jake’s Journey Home for their coordinated efforts in addressing a disruptive situation at Sheldon Park.
Councilmember Aquino extended a comprehensive thank you to the numerous city departments, local businesses, volunteers, and community partners who contributed to the success of the recent Railroad History event. She highlighted the involvement of Communications, Parks and Recreation, Public Works, the Library, and the Folsom History Museum, among others, in creating a positive and educational experience for the community.
Mayor Raithel concluded the reports by reflecting on the Railroad History event and the train ride to Sacramento. He announced that the Ad Hoc Charter Review Committee began its work the previous week, with upcoming public meetings scheduled for March 19 and April 1. The Mayor also commended the organizers of Folsom Tech Week for showcasing the local startup and tech community and offered congratulations to Officer McCullough on a recent promotion to Detective.
