Mayor Joiner asked, Sean Scully, the City Manager, if he’d like to provide background on the proposed project prior to public comment. Sean Scully, the City Manager, stated that the current Council chambers is inadequate and doesn’t allow for ease of access for the general public.
The first iteration of the project is focused solely on scope and exploring space and configuration options as Council chambers would best fit our community on the first floor rather than the third floor.
Travis Williams, Acting City Engineer (Consultant), confirmed the City Manager’s statement and reiterated that the contract language states the City can choose to terminate the contract and project work if the City Council determines at a later date to not proceed. Managing a project to move a city council chambers involves various complex tasks, coordination, and planning to ensure a smooth transition.
Mayor Joiner asked if there was any member of the public that would like to speak on the item.

Chapman stated he was curious about the project renderings and the seating capacity.

September 26, 2023
Mayor Joiner opened the public hearing at 6:40 pm with the following comments:
1.) Byron Chapman, a Lincoln resident, asked if the units will help to address housing needs for low income residents and senior citizens. Additionally, Mr. Chapman wanted clarification on the number of housing units.
Mayor Joiner closed the public hearing at 6:42 pm. and asked the City Manager, Sean Scully, to respond to public comments and he made the following response:
When he and the City Attorney were first approached to extend the credits, their initial response was not to move forward; however, this project brings a mix of diverse affordable housing products to the City of Lincoln that we don’t typically see. Therefore, we didn’t want to lose the opportunity, but it is important to note that they finish out the last remaining credits within the five-year time span.
A brief City Council discussion ensued with member of the City Council and City Staff including:
Councilmember Andreatta, asked if this project was tied to the recent ground-breaking ceremony, expressed concern with the definition of affordable housing and if it’s truly attainable and achievable. Lastly, Councilmember Andreatta expressed concern with the increase of traffic flow near the location due to its proximity to John Adams Academy.
Sean Scully, City Manager, stated when the Council rezoned the area, the development community was then forced into a smaller box, they have to build a product denser and by nature it’ll be less expensive for potential homeowners. Additionally, the commercial component in that specific Twelve Bridges neighborhood will be south of the new development, but it’ll create more pathways in and out of that area.
Councilmember Karleskint added that housing products can enable people to begin their path into home ownership. Christian Svensk, Community Development Director, confirmed the first step in the process is to create high density housing which in nature is affordable.
In closing, Mayor Joiner, acknowledged the negotiation efforts and appreciated everyone’s continued diligence and hard work. With no further comments, Mayor Joiner called for a motion.

10. GENERAL BUSINESS
10.A. Adopt RESOLUTION 2023-181 approving the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Professional and Administrative employee group (PROF) and the City of Lincoln and related salary schedules.
Sean Scully, City Manager, provided a brief background on the memorandum of understanding.
The professional admin group, which includes 54 staff, serving in various administrative and supervisorial roles MOU expired in March after a three-year term. Over the past 8 months the group met in good faith worked to negotiate a successor MOU.
Throughout the negotiation period, the City’s negotiating team regularly provided City Council with a status report of bargaining progress, received direction from the City Council, and executed the City Council’s policy direction at the bargaining table which is reflected in the attached successor MOU.
With no comments from Council or the public, Mayor Joiner called for a motion.
Councilmember Lauritsen motioned approval of
RESOLUTION 2023-181 and the motion was
seconded by Councilmember Brown. By the following Vote (Approved): Lauritsen– Aye, Brown -Aye, Andreatta – Aye, Karleskint – Aye and Mayor Joiner- Aye.
10.B. Adopt RESOLUTION 2023-182 Approving the Proposed Response to the Placer County Grand Jury Report "Spending on Homelessness within Placer County".
Sean Scully, City Manager, stated that every year the Placer County Grand Jury publishes a report that typically includes multiple items for each jurisdiction to review. Upon the City Council’s approval, staff will submit a response to “finding 5” to the Grand Jury as recommeded.
The finding is as follows:
The five incorporated cities and one incorporated town in Placer County do not have homeless budget line items that define sources of funding and expenditures.
We agree with “finding 5” as it relates to the City of Lincoln, but with the following caveat, the City of Lincoln does not adopt its budget on a line-item basis as is common with most California Cities, rather it operates on a fund-based budget.
The City will agree to form a narrative perspective within its biennium budget document to indicate anticipated funding and expenditures on homelessness in each budget cycle. The City will not provide line-item detail of expenditures within its budget. The City, much like most California Cities, does not have a line-item budget, rather it presents a fund-based budget.
Fund-based budgeting is an accepted practice in government agencies at the local, state, and federal level throughout the country. Since the budget document is adopted at an open and public meeting and posting on the City’s website, an additional annual report is unnecessary.
The City does not agree with and will not institute a full separate annual report of homelessness funding and budget on a yearly basis as the recommendation is redundant on a number of levels. First, the City of Lincoln discusses homelessness actively and openly at public meetings and receives (and will receive in the future) regular updates on homeless programs and any funding associated with homelessness. Second, the budgetary process provides a similar ongoing opportunity to evaluate homeless funding’s through the budgetary narrative. Finally, the City of Lincoln and its residents have access to robust financial transparency tools to review

Mayor Joiner asked if any member of the City Council had any comments or questions.
Councilmember Lauritsen asked if there have been new developments with the “Campus of Hope,” project that the Gathering Inn of Roseville was spearheading along with Placer County.
Mayor Joiner responded stating that each jurisdiction in Placer County felt their challenges were unique and their solutions should be tailored to their individual needs and talents.
Mayor Joiner asked if anyone from the public would like to comment.
1.) Bryon Chapman, a Lincoln resident, suggested the City keep a record of costs associated with addressing homelessness in Lincoln.
Sean Scully, City Manager, responded to Mr. Chapman’s comment, stating we are depending specifically on non-profits, faith-based programs and partnerships to move our pilot project forward. If the City expends the $150k, plus added soft costs etc., it is a fair point that City staff provide regular updates to Council.
With no further comments, Mayor Joiner called for a motion.
Councilmember Andreatta motioned approval of
RESOLUTION 2023-182 and the motion was
seconded by Councilmember Brown. By the following Vote (Approved): Andreatta -Aye, Brown -Aye, Lauritsen– Aye, Karleskint – Aye and Mayor Joiner- Aye.
