Steve will be followed by dean of trotta. >> my name is steve baird I'm a resident plus or county and I've come here tonight to speak on behalf of a full some resident who want to meet to give you a chance to hear a presentation on the state of jefferson. Thinking that something that crazy people up north do but there's actually a hook in full some. You are part of senate district 1, which goes from alpine county all the way to the oregon border. And you share that one senator with 1 million people. So that's with a tie for you come in. And we like to give a presentation that hopefully will be educational and intriguing, and see what your options in the city of full some would be them both to plaster and el dorado counties who are invested in the state of jefferson and looking to be part of a new state. So I'm going to leave these for your clerk to distribute to your membership here. If you have any questions for me now, I don't think you can in this type of a form. That I left my phone number on their and you can get a hold of me through the website as well and I would be happy to give you a 30-45 minutes presentation on jefferson and what it could mean for you and the residents of full some. ;-). >> great, thank you. >> your next speaker is dean of trotta followed by rebecca of trotta. >> good evening. >> thank you, good evening and thank you for letting me speak. I will try to be as brief as I can and try to give you I guess the good, the confused, and the concern. So start with the good. Last wednesday I went to the planning commission and I wanted to know something that I saw something that I've seen many times before but I want you to know that the person who sits here, steve who is the city engineer gave one of the most impressive communications about the projects that were brought on the agenda, plus one of the Councilman Brought up issues that took about 20-30 minutes to bring up through his concerns. And it was well presented. I also watched our attorney speak for the city and speak for the concerns that were on the agenda, and I was very impressed. So I wanted to give you that knowledge and give you that ability of the good. The concern was as they went through one of the redevelopment for a low income housing I saw something that impressed me concerning me for the future. and I felt like we are upon the future. It finally has reached our doorstep. And one of the things that was brought up about that particular project was, they are going to help them out with low income, they have to have a job. But on the matter of giving them a job they have no skylights, they have no solar, they don't even have renewable energies of any kind. So that brought up what I concern, do we have an energy commission that looks over these projects for the future? That we could face solar, wind, hydrogen, methane, and magnetics? I think we gave May close an email on hydrogen. So this brings up why the future is important. We are expanding and I feel like your city now needs to address that on all new projects how we can save energy. Especially this low income housing. They wanted to put trees in and I thought you know that's good for the person who can afford the place. But these people cannot function, that's why they are there, I mean not function, they don't have the finances to function on a regular basis and this is a helping hand. So I said, why can't they have free trees or nut trees? Why can't they have gardens that people can actually benefit from? So is the future prevails I think we need to address these low income housing for how we can be actually a benefit. It's one thing to say okay my rent is lower? So I bring the future to you. >> okay. >> I would be glad to speak with any of you at any time. >> your next speaker is [Inaudible]. >> I came here because about a month ago I got a call from my neighbor he said don't worry, everything's going to be okay. I said what's going on? >> he said there's a plume of fire coming out of your chimney about 20 feet tall. That sent us into a panic. He said don't worry the fire department is up front, the police department is out front so just go out and meet them, so we did. Everything was rectified, but the police department was out there direct traffic and the fire department came in and said can we come through your house? I said absolutely, top to bottom I don't care. They were so efficient and so right on and they asked us questions and looked around the house. And every detail was covered. The police were stationed so that no one was hurt anywhere in any possible way. And I'm here to say how thankful im we have such a good police department, fire department. Just like that they are right on the dime. And they have this order about them that they are like that. Everyone knows their position, their place and the way they do things. I was extremely impressed and they did not make it a frightening type of thing. It was just really calm, it really made you feel like you could trust in the situation, and it really felt good. We finally found out what it was and we just needed our chimney clean, which we did the next day. But I just wanted to give a compliment to both departments. Very proud of them, just really thankful that they are such good people. And we are all very lucky. Thank you. >> thank you and thank you for taking the time to come out and both our police and fire chiefs are here so they will pass that message along to their folks. >> they are perfect people. Thank you. >> thanks. >> you have one more speaker, michael flynn. >> my name is mike flynn, im interested also in the state of jefferson. I would be interested to hear what steve has to say about that comment that could be held at an open meeting? >> great, thanks michael. >> that concludes business from the floor. >>> your next item tonight is the consent calendar. >> I will move items a, c, d, e, f, g. >> so you're pulling be? >> yes. >> anything else need to be pulled for discussion are separate vote? That moved in second please call role. consent item 7 b this is resolution authorizing the city manager to [Inaudible] For the pump station consistent assessment and appropriation of funds. >> I'm recusing myself because I cannot remember when I last did work for [Inaudible] So it's out of abundance of caution. >> inc. You vice mayor so I will move the item. Seconded by councilmember gaillard. Please call role. >> your next item tonight is your only discussion item that is public hearing on item on eight a resolution 9956. This is a resolution approving the final engineers report confirming the diagram and assessment and ordering the levy of assessments for maintenance and servicing of improvements within willow creek estates east number two landscaping and lighting district in the city. For fiscal year 2017-18. >> thank you. >> good evening mayor and members of the council. The item you have before you tonight is an overlay district for the willow creek estates east district. It is one of our oldest districts in the city, it is about 30 years old. We approach the resident starting last February to do public outreach to describe the assessment condition. They currently pay about $80 per year for their assessment. And we've kind of reached the point of not being able to pull rabbits out of the hat anymore and have an abundant amount of items to take care of in terms of landscaping, maintaining the irrigation system and whatnot. This is similar to the other initiatives we brought before you over the last several years. It's an overlay to harness enough funding to keep this district going, and be able to replace the landscaping, update the irrigation system and continue to keep it as nice as it was intended when it was formed in 1987. Ballots were sent out in May and they are due back tonight before the close of public hearing. If there is any request for replacement ballots, our engineer can replace those tonight. If there are any ballots being dropped off tonight we can accept those as well. >> this is the date and time for the public hearing on the proposed willow creek estates east number two, lighting and landscape district. Ballots must be submitted by the close of public hearing. So is there anyone wishing to address the council or community on this item. -- ? >> that's no comment on this? >> we will close the public door -- hearing. And with that, announce any final call for ballots so or any other ballots the need to be submitted to our city clerk? Seeing no one run up here. With that.... Now the public is invited and welcome to observe the tabulation process for this. So council will continue the items. So I do need a motion to continue this item. Not the public hearing. The reason for this is it will probably take one or two hours to tabulate the balance. We don't have enough time on our agenda to get through that. So we will continue this item so moved by vice mayor howell and we had a second by councilmember sheldon to continue this item to our July 11, 2017 meeting. When the clerk's call the role? So with that at our July 11 meeting the clerk will announce the final tally and break down of votes. If votes are in favor the council will consider adoption of the resolution. So with that... >> what if someone wants to know what the tally is, can that information be made available? >> they have to wait until July 11 when a formal announcement is made. >> okay, but as mentioned, the tabulation process that will commence shortly, the public is invited to observe that process? >> yes. >> okay. Any other questions related to that? I know I stumbled through that script in an awkward manner. So with that, we would jump right over to our city manager with reports he wants to share with the community. >> thank you Mr. Mayor and good evening members of the council and members of the community. We have made another best of list which is good news for the city of folsom and its residents.. Ranks number five as the best place to live in california. That is tied for number five from 345 cities in evaluated in the golden state, and the best places to live. We are very proud once again for being wrecking sized by an analytical agency. In this case the website smart asset has run us through their numbers. And if you go out to the smart assets website you can see that ranking and you will find the full sum is in very good company with several very beautiful cities in the east bay and in orange county. We are very pleased to have all of our hard work as members of the community and staff and members of city council to be recognized for all of our hard work and paying off in this particular honor. With that, just sticking to the rodeo theme. I want to remind the community the rodeo's first, second, third of July. It is a good time for all in it begins this friday what's known as the folsom family roundup at full some cities lines park. There is country music artist and all kinds of opportunities to have the kids get out and be part of rodeo fun. So I look forward to seeing you all this friday at full some city alliance park and in dan russell arena for the grateful some pro-rodeo, 2000 and teen edition. >>> I had another eagle scout last night, the fire chief was with me. It's 103rd eagle scout troop 94 and it's just amazing how many eagle scouts. Typical it was ironic the scout they got the award was a full some grad and his best friend, the Mc was a vista grad rate all the sudden they were best friends. So it was great to hear them talk. The only conclusion I can announced tonight is that the trip that the scoutmaster overheard the conversation between the two in the backseat of a car. It was a debate on what high school was better, vista or full sum. And the only time they agreed on anything was that the girls of folsom high were better looking than the girls and vista. I think that's argumentative. But it's typical, it's nice to be around those kids and the spark that they give. And the leadership and the senior leadership in the troop masters is outstanding. Obviously the parents do their job otherwise the kids wouldn't be there. So I enjoy doing it. Now I want to make a public announcement. Tomorrow starts fireworks, I call it hell week. Because to me it ends up that way. But I caution everyone to be safe and sound, as in the last few years we've not had any incidents, but you cannot take that for granted. i know my organization stressed to everyone that buys to be careful. Just do what is the proper thing and use common sense. So we wish everyone... I think the normal seven days of 100+ fireworks temperature came one week early, think I've -- they got. Think we will be in the 80s-90s for this evan days so will be much more enjoyable very so everyone enjoy, celebrate your nation. But he very safe and keep the fire under control at all times. >> thanks ernie. >> a couple of comments. I will reiterate ernie's comments about the fireworks. Please be very very careful, or the alternative is go to the rodeo and see the fireworks there. I just wanted for those of you who have not seen it. There was a great article in sacramento magazine this month, so it should be available for the next week or so.. Was included in one of the neighborhoods we love. It was a really cool piece about city and the photographer in my personal opinion did a great job on the artwork. And thanks to the chamber for helping to get people out there to be in that photograph. So if you have not seen it, I think christine I have posted
