You can speak on anything that you wish but because they are not on the agenda it is illegal for us to give commentary on what our thoughts are.

All current folsom transit staff will be offered similar positions within the sacramento regional transit. If I'm not around, for further information please contact matt mauch at area code 916, 461 6754 . Or m mau k at full some .Ca.Us. In closing, this is a very important item. This is not something we as a grassroots organization wanted to discuss unless there was something official on file and online. And now that there is, we are very comfortable discussing it. would like to see that the open house take place and people come as a please. And we would request your action to place this on the agenda either tuesday, November 13 or no later than tuesday, November 27 at your regularly scheduled time at 6:30 pm. We double checked the calendar, none of those tuesdays fall the week of thanksgiving. That tuesday where the week of thanksgiving falls would be the third tuesday, the 20th. Because the fourth thursday is the 22nd. So we took care of that. We want to make sure that that did not interfere for that week. But we also want to make sure that this comes to the current counsel and this could be a legendary landmark legacy action item you take and can be remembered for, particularly if you will be leaving the council this election cycle. >> thank you. >> is at a reasonable request? I will get with the manager and see what the agenda items look like. >> thank you mike. I want to let you know that the mayor and I have put this item on the October 23rd agenda item. We are all set. >> I have a question michael, why did you pick that location? >> that location was on a facebook post presented by the sacramento regional transit district. Are grassroots organization knowing how sensitive this item was wanted to let the public agency make the decision and not us. >> the only reason I say is this could be a big crowd and that capacity is at 100 at most. I just don't know about the location. >> that is a good point. I could certainly talk to the city manager about that . Thank you for bringing that up. The reason we picked, or recommended the November dates is will be going through the unmet transit needs process. On October 23 they have a 6 pm hearing in the city of elk grove. There might be a scheduling conflict on the 23rd so we thought giving everyone time to digest meetings here in November would be better than a meeting on October 23rd. >> the October 23 has been taken into consideration. I would prefer that with the employees and the public that the sooner we put it out the better. That way if we delay it we can take it back in November as an action item rather than trying to it alma night. That's our strategy. >> it allows more public input. We will have it advertising case we do . If we don't have enough answers I could put it over to another meeting. It gives us more public participation that way. >> that's a good strategy. You could certainly put it over to a November meeting if we need to. >> thank you. >> your next speaker . >> good evening. >> hello Mr. Mayor and folsom city council. As you know california has a public records act were pub dish private citizens like myself can request public records from the government. The purpose of those laws to keep the citizens informed about what our public officials are doing and when performing their official duties. In that spirit and under that law, I am today requesting that the folsom city council provide me with the following. Fully come plea transcripts of each and every text message exchange between folsom city council member gaylord and kevin mallery from June 13, 2017, during the city council meetings. Because I've watch most of them online on citywide -- website . It seems to me that the only city councilmember that seems to be on electric advice seems to be roger gaylord and it seems to be his phone texting. I don't know why somebody would be doing that that their full attention is supposed be on what they are doing. Anyway, to the recent, most recent county -- meeting on September 11. I would like full transcripts from each text message exchange from council member gaylord and the planning commission are that have taken place during the city council meetings from June 13, 2016 to the most recent meeting on September 11. I find it odd that somebody on the council would be texting other people during the meeting and why they are. Are they feeding information to somebody else? Are they getting information from somebody else because they are not prepared? We have seen that in past city council meetings where roger has not been prepared. We have seen where he has had to recuse himself on a couple different occasions because he posts on facebook and I think on folsom chat public information on city council items that have not yet come to the city council. So if I could, I would like to request those. Thank you. >> I think there is a former processing you go to the city clerk's office for that. >> you have no more request to speak. >> next item please. your next item tonight is your first schedule presentation item. This is the presentation of the mayor. 6a. Proclamation of the mayor of the city of folsom proclaiming October 2018 as arts and humanities month. >> have the honor presenting this to heather.

Presentation of 2018 community service day results. >> good evening mayor and council members I'm christine brainerd communications manager for the city of folsom. The service date was held on saturday, September 15. More than 3000 -- 3300 people participated in the fifth annual community service date. This is record attendance of more than 500 people participated in this year's event compared to last year's event. Had more than 70 projects taking place throughout the city that day and volunteers of all agents -- ages and backgrounds participated. The morning began with a kickoff over at lakesite church which included a check in, t-shirt handout, hot breakfast and coffee and wrecked -- welcoming remarks before volunteers went to more than 70 volunteer sites. That day, volunteers assembled over 500 military cap -- care packages that will be shipped to overseas military troops. Or than 120 pallets of food was collected for the twin lakes food bank and we saw a 15% increase from donations in the last year alone. The collection drive was very successful. Hundreds of eyeglasses were collected did for the lions club. The folsom lake lions club collected so much yarn that it took an suv in -- to bring the items back. And hundred and six of bicycles and one unicycle was donated for the bike drive. And those will be refurbished by the inmates in folsom prison. And then given back to the community. 60 volunteers help sort legos and packaged 700 individual packages of legos and those are being donated to the folsom police department and other law agencies and they are given to kids who are experiencing crisis. In invasive water read known as the water hyacinth was removed from the water creek. It is now easy task. quite a few upgrades remain over a powerhouse ministries including the retaining wall that you could see on the slide. You can see the before and after picture taken that day. There were major cleanups over at folsom lake at three different sites. There were also a major cleanup at natoma station. In between folsom point and natoma station those two projects alone volunteers collected over the 4000 pounds of garbage that day. Perhaps the most impactful service project was neighbors helping seniors project. We were able to help more than 20 seniors in need with gutter cleaning, painting landscaping and planting. And we received this note that I wanted to share with you and I will read it to you now. It said, many thanks to the volunteers who spent saturday morning relaying the walking path making it safe to walk to my home. My entire community of pinebrook village really appreciates those hours and supplies donated for this work. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Less everyone that helps someone. The most precious gift you can give someone is your time. Said these projects did make an impact in local communities here. We had extensive media coverage leading up to service day and throughout the day. Including kt ar, good day sacramento, cbs13, folsom tv and folsom telegraph in style. We heard that people sought on kt ar and they volunteer that day. Volunteer opportunities are still available through the twin lake food bait. -- bank. They receive so much food that they still need help sorting out the food left over. Anyone interested can visit their website or give them a call and find out how to give them a hand. I wanted to share with you a video from this year's service day. >> I think it's amazing that moms and dads with teenagers get up early on a saturday morning when they could all be sleeping in because the community matters that much. Back what I think is important is that it doing something that feels good. people got together today to help others. >> I felt for myself in previous years I was not able to volunteer because I have small kids and their wasn't really a place in which my small kids could help out. Might 3-year-old was painting rocks with us today as well is my eight-year-old and lots of other family members. >> if you're having a hard day and you find something positive like that it really can brighten up your day. anyone who lives here in this community gets a chance to show up and actually help each other out. >> to learn more and get involved, go to folsom community service.Org. >> that concludes my presentation, thank you. very nice christine and thank you for hitting another record. >> thank you. >> next item. >> next item is 6c. Presentation celebrating the 20- year anniversary of the sacramento groundwater authority. >> good evening mayor miklos and members of the council. We have john woodling here from the sacramento groundwater authority. He is the executive director. he has a brief presentation that will cover 20 years of the sacramento groundwater at doherty. >> good evening. Thanks marcus, mayor miklos and members of the counselor. -- counsel. I want to think council member howell who has been heavily involved over some of this over 20 years of serving on the board of directors. >> in 1998 your predecessors on this board along with city council and citrus heights sacramento and the board of supervisors of sacramento county set the groundwater authority and motion. In the 1980s our water supplies were headed towards a crisis. The conflict between increasing diversions of service water and protection of the lower american river was coming to a head. The drought at the end of the 80s and early 90s really brought that I had. So 1993, the reason came together and created a stakeholder collaborative process to come up with a plan for the future. Water supply for the people and the economy after the year 2030 and protection f the ower american river, beneficiary, the parkway and the aesthetics. And ultimately in 2000 and agreement was signed . The water form has seven elements. I'm going to primarily focus on three. Two are related to surface water which in wet years, increase surface water productions from that 2000 out to 2030 . But in dry years, builds a low back to 1990s level. To do that, we needed to rely more heavily and optimize the use of the groundwater basin. And to use the groundwater basin we needed sound management. That really was the driver for creating the sacramento ground water authority. Having that foundation and protection of the groundwater it would serve our needs. 1998, the three cities in the county came together and formed a joint powers agency to use the powers of your adjuster -- jurisdictions to manage the groundwater. That was unique in california. Further, you deferred downward to 14 water suppliers and a representative from agricultural groundwater users to form a 16 person board. Essentially saying, you police yourselves and we can defer that authority down to you to do the job. When we started that job, the groundwater basin was not in good shape. On the left there you see we've had from the mid-50s after the war until the mid-90s, decline of groundwater levels . About two feet a year because after that 40 year period we had ground-level -- we had a quantity problem. In addition, we had a quality problem. We have the colon air force base contamination coming under the american river so we need to address that as well if we were going to use a groundwater basin for the future . On the quantity side, the goal was to use more surface water in the yet -- wet years. So bring service water into those people that otherwise would have continued to pop groundwater. Then in dry years, rely on the groundwater basin we May have shortages of surface water. So you look at the two pie charts and you see in the wet year preceding the drought in 2011, our service water was about 55% in 2014 we got it done at 39%. We are continuing to develop the capacity to move back and forth. The result of that is when that started, in 1998, until now, we have seen this recovery of the groundwater level. Even during the drought we see a dip but recovering to back of where we are. We have done a lot to make that groundwater a backstop for the dryer years. On the groundwater quality side, there are a number of state and federal regulatory programs to monitor, protect and remediate groundwater quality problems. At the time in the early 90s and 2000's, they really opposite -- operated in a silo. So the projects to clean up work operating over here and groundwater was operating over here. We were really being effective at managing the groundwater basin for all those purposes. So over those years we have established relationships with the regulatory agencies of the state and federal district federal level and the responsible parties for that contamination where we can look collaborative -- collaboratively to clean up the groundwater. one of the most impressive examples of that is the first facility where we actually took water from the aerojet plume and rather than clean it up and put it in a storm drain, we actually put it to use in carmichael water district at the park. We are doing the work to take that water out of the ground, clean it up and then we are putting it directly to a beneficial use. It turns out, your predecessors were pretty smart. In 2014, the state passed something called the sustainable ground water management act. Assembly member roger dickinson has been a part of the board when this was created. He said we need a structure that everybody puts groundwater management in place. Many places in the state have created a model similar -- we are now part of a larger area north american groundwater subbasin. That we have five agencies now that we have to work together with to manage his entire subbasin area up to the bear river and yuba county. Sga has helped us take the lead on that. We were successful in getting nearly $1 million grant from department of water resource to the work to develop the plan for the future. so what is that find for the future look like? It looks like doing more of what we have been doing. Broadening that conjunctive use is recalled. We shift more to surface water and more groundwater. As you probably know we are hearing our snowpack is going to decline the future because of climate change. We really have three reservoirs in the state. Of the snowpack , for us here, we have folsom reservoir which looks pretty small on this scale. And then we have the groundwater basin. What we are trying to do for the future is as snowpack diminishes and runoff comes earlier, folsom lake really has to shift more to a flood protection function that a water supply function. And be able to take more of that water off during the peaks and flow and put it in the groundwater basin to be there for us when the dry years come. So I will finish there and I'm happy to answer any questions. to that last point john, there has been talk and technologies around for the last 20 years or so. I remember one developer was talking about rancho marietta and creating a system where during the wet times of montague capture rain and recharge, reversing the pipe flow and charge of the groundwater. To have anything coming down the line where we can actually do as you said? I couldn't agree with you more. >> the way we have done it so far is instead of taking the service water and trying to put it in the ground, we have built additional service water treatment and transmission to bring it to those people that did not have access to surface water before. They don't pump groundwater when the groundwater levels drive. -- rise. Were also looking at wells to inject more water to the ground and primarily more south of the river, where we have more open land, we have permeable soils up along the sierra foothill front and I think 10 to 20 years out we will see that direct recharge. I actually signed the water forum agreement. We talked about even then, it's one of those technologies that people seem a little slow to embrace, yet they don't want to build and he's true surface storage. To me, it seems like there is so much out there. You can recharge wells . And by the photo, when you look at the groundwater basin that we have, that is probably five shasta lakes alone. At least. >> in that space, that we created by drawing the love -- drawing the water level down over all those years, we have roughly about 2 million acres of storage. Which is to folsom reservoirs under the ground that we could store water in. >> but I agree with you there is more that way. I said on the regional sanitation board and as I'm sure you are weird john, they have a significant -- I'm sure you are aware john they got a significant grant to work on groundwater recharge to work with the cleaning up wastewater. Instead of sending that clean water into the delta, bringing it back in and technically helping the rivers. I'm sure you have all that plugged in. and similar, even at that large- scale. They are going to bring it to farmers , shut off their wells and let that water recover . And that provides environmental benefits there. Mac I'm happy to hear everything you're doing and how far out you are looking. >> will be back in 20 more years. >> I tell you what, I won't be sitting here, I guarantee that. Any other questions for john? We appreciate it. call the next item please. >> the next item is 6d. City manager's financial report for fiscal year 2017-18 fourth quarter financial report. good evening everyone, I'm here tonight is your city manager and also your acting as distant city manager and finance director because jim francis is home recovering from a knee directory -- surgery. Let's pull up the first slide. We have our general funds summary and you will see that we ended the fiscal year with a -- adding approximately $1.2 million to the general fund balance which is excellent. The percentage of expenditures to fund the balance remain consistent from the last year, you see just a small change there. That surface came equally from excess revenues and expenditures from the budget. And if you move to the next slide, we know that our city policy is 15% and you will see in this chart that we have had seven years of growth in the general fund balance and it is sure nice to see that upward trend. It does continue to grow although as you will see as -- at a slower pace at this point. Move onto the next slide, revenues are up as you will see at the bottom there about 4.6% from the previous fiscal year. Our revenue projections were very accurate, property taxes increased 5.3% over the previous year , median home prices jumped by 9% from fiscal year 2017 which is exciting from all of us that own homes and folsom. Sales tax showed a decrease but it was just a correction for payments received by the city incorrectly. Those corrections will appear in fiscal year 2019. Under charges for services you will see that our ambulance revenues increased due to the third ambulance that was activated in December 2017 . Development fees increased do to increase construction of single- family units and also multifamily units , the peak apartments. And licenses and permits also increased due to increased building activity. So that is all looking strong and robust. >> let me jump any lane. -- let me jump in a lane. -- elaine. that's our final tally that we are looking as our final tally. As we close out fy 17. expenditure categories , expenditures were under the budgeted amount but they still increase by 9.1%. Salary increases re-flecked -- reflect cost of living , feeling more positions rather than leaving them vacant and step increase meant. Are benefits increased mainly because of the pers contribution. You will see that our debt service did increase as well and that reflects a know interest loan from sacog for the johnny cash trail project to be paid back over five years and we have made one payment so far of 407,000. On this light you will see the expenditure proportions by type of service remain essentially the same. So we talk about that pie of expenditures, really the slice of each expenditure category is getting is remaining constant. You will see an increase in community development and public works and that is due largely to contracts and capital outlay. Both of which were partially -- partially offset by revenue increases. All of this is on target. The next slide shows you major to capital project expenditures. And the completion of economy park. Our fire station 39 that we just opened a few days ago and the johnny cash trail were are against capital projects. You can see the rest of the list there. Under the water enterprise fund, revenues were up for the second year in a row due to increased use post drought. That makes rational sense and also additional connections as houses come online. Our expenses met expectations and you will see our working capital improved. Water revenue , again, we just see if you take a look at this chart we see that the increases followed by those years of decline during the drought situation. The wastewater enterprise fund revenue increased as expect to due to increased use. Expenses were as expect to and know debt service in line with our pay-as-you-go policy and again, the working capital position improved. Solid waste enterprise fund . Revenues were down slightly due to decreased prices out in the market for the sale of recycling material. Operational expenses came in just as expect dead, know debt service in line again with our pay-as-you-go policy. And again, our working capital situation improved. Risk management internal service fund revenue was up , 4.9% reflecting higher contributions, expenses were up 5.3% due to higher rates. The unrestricted net position improved and will be used to keep budget expenses down. Active employee health costs increase by 1.4%. Retiree health increased due to the increased number of righties. Workers comp increased 14 point 4% and liability insurance increased. The trail grant special revenue fund this has primarily the grant funds used for trail development. We keep it on our watch list due to a negative balance. It has a negative balance because our grants are reimbursement for our expenditures and therefore we spend money first. We just track that one. And finally, I will be happy to take any questions or comments. Just a general overall comment, fiscal year 2018 was a strong year for us financially. We accomplished our service goals, the general fund balance increased, the utility funds had positive year. The only issue that we are watching is that while we had a surplus, expenses increase more than revenue. This is not a trend at this point, this is something to note for this year that we would not want to see continue obviously. With that, I would be happy to take any questions with the assistance of terry. >> any questions for either elaine or terry? >> we do look forward to jim returning but that was exceptional. >> I don't know how to take that complement andy? that slide presentation is very concise and accurate can we post on our website? And also circulated for the five of us. >> I will provide it to you electronically and a hard copy and will put it on the website. thank you for all the hard work. >> next item please. >> your last scheduled presentation tonight is item 6e. Presentation regarding folsom plan area quarterly update. >> good evening mayor miklos and members of the city council. Pam johns community development director. We are bringing quarterly update to share information about planning, site to met -- that -- development. We have prepared about a 10 minute presentation and this evening I will be going over the planning activity and asking city engineers -- steve krahn to get up and go over the rest of it. Just a quick flash of the and title meant specific plan map plus a compilation of all of the approved specific plan amendments and tentative subdivision maps of this council has approved since at time. Most of the residential land east of east bidwell street has been approved for tentative subdivision maps and as you know we have started residential construction south of 50. We have a few applications in addition to those residential neighborhoods and maps. We introduced the shops at folsom ranch. Showing you that location in the slide here. We are moving forward, we just received a revised set of plans on this project. We expect this will go to the planning commission for final action in late up tober or November. -- late October or November. We introduce the application for this panos multi family apartments. That has been on hold so they can take a look at some site improvement and off-site improvement that they were participating basement anticipating. Pencils are down on that but we do expect that to come back. We have like always had a lot of interests and opportunities on the site and we meet with anyone who wants to sit down and talk about what the vision is and what the vision is . We expect within the next quarter we will have about three new applications south of 50 but won't be able to report on that until we actually have applications submitted. We have talked to folks about a range of job opportunities and senior age restricted housing of a couple different varieties. It has been an exciting time because there has been a lot of interest. We will be meeting with the school district in the near term to talk about the first elementary site that is located within the mangini ranch phase 1. We will be read porting on that the next time we come back I'm going to turn it over to steve to talk about the engineering. >> thank you pam. I will go through a little bit through the construction slides and feel free if you have any questions during the slideshow, feel free to ask any questions and I will try to respond to them. This is an overview of the slides we will be looking out throughout the presentation. The first one, this is a slide we have shown before this is what we approved for the backbone infrastructure two years ago. They started this work to get the back bone infrastructure and in April 2018 it's been going on since then. We will see photographs of these improvements and they are very close to being completed and some are already in operation and used by the city. This is a view of the sewer station. It will serve an entire area. We are operating it now it has been completed and this is a view of the site this is the booster pump station pumps from placerville road all the way up to the top of the hill. And this is the zone five booster pump system. It's about complete and almost ready for operation. Here is a view from the top of the hill, this is next to the cell site. It's towards the eastern side of the project. The tank is in use now and in the middle is the future location for a water tank. And then the background is the five six booster pump station here's kind of the areas . If you been out there there's a lot of grading and construction going on. And the purple there is mangini ranch and we will have a few more photos of that. The green area just happened this week without white rock springs ranch project has just started. It is just south of russell ranch. If you drive down placerville road it is just getting started there at the top of the hill. Here is an overview of both projects and on the left the areas are paved. We have accepted those improvements and home construction has construct -- has started and those villages. The area to the right of that is the mass grading for the other villages that started this past summer. We expect to see those improvements done in 2019 on homes being built in those villages. Probably in 2019 as well. This is actually the school site , it is graded. The land owner is close to transferring the property to school districts for the elementary school. Here is what they deal with quite a bit, there are a lot of rocks out there. A lot of blasting. This is an area that is being readied to be blasted. you can see the drill rig and those are little blast holes, they drill the holes and pack them with dynamite and break up rocks. This is an ongoing operation . Some areas are good to work and others are rock. It is quite an operation. A lot of act to betty and a lot of big equipment to do it. There finding all kinds of different uses for those rocks. Now we jumped into mangini parkway, these are the completed and improvements. -- completed improvements. This is the landscaping and it has been completed along these areas. These are surrounding the villages one, two, eight , and nine. Here is a view of east bidwell street looking north. I think it is just north of mangini parkway. We have plans in right now coincidentally for our first traffic signal down there. We expect that to be constructed at the inner struck -- intersection this time next year. Here is another view looking north again from east bidwell and mangini parkway. Now we are jumping over to the russell ranch project. They started grading last year and there has been quite a bit of grading since last year. They just started paving and this is alder creek as it intersects with placerville road. Runs up the hill and its paved all the way now up to the tank site at the top of the hill. This was just recently painted -- paved this past month. Here is a view from above, I think this is very close to the tank site itself so you can look down and this is the same road as our first roundabout in the plan area being constructed there. That is alder creek parkway and grand prairie road intersection. This is grand prairie road as it comes back around. It loops around phase 1 of russell ranch. All those rock walls were built all the way up the hill to the top. I think they are about 80% done with the grading. I think they are trying hard to get this grading done before phase 1 before we hit rain this winter. This area will be paved, probably in the next month. Here is another view from near the top of the hill, this road in the foreground connects to the white rocks spring ranch project which I mentioned earlier was just started grading. Here is a view again from the recreational site where we expect to see , it will become the sales office for the new home company. We look to see that being built next year as well. That's looking down on the villages for phase 1. They are taking shape down below. Here is an aerial view from a drone of grand prairie road intersection and the work that is going on which we just showed. Like I said, it is getting close to getting done, and I think they're looking to try to get models out there in early 2019 for this village and then production this time next year. Here is another view from the rec center. It is a good view from up there. This will be where their sales office is located it is just below the tank site at the top of the hill. Here is some landscaping and lighting that is been installed and I think we just completed that. It's all done. It will be established in advance of people moving in out there as a drive into their new home. Here is a map -- an exhibit of the mat -- map activity we have going on now. We have 16 small light -- lot final maps in review which we expect to be approved by the council next year. And those will be the locations and those villages which are under construction now. Getting model and production homes this time next year. Expect a lot more activity in 2019 with home construction as these improvements get completed this year and early spring of 2019. As of today, we have issued 75 building permits for those villages in one, two, eight and nine. Homes are being built by taylor morrison and lennar. I think 90% of the homes that have been sold are two folsom residents and residents in the very close region. The next phase as I mentioned starts in 2019 and those of the villages that are in planning process and/or in construction right now. These are the overview of the models. We have seen the photograph before it circles the area where we have approved the maps. That's a tough one to look at kind of -- but it is a little closer view of the model home construction. There is a photograph of taylor morrison's home . I believe they opened up at the end of August and they have sold quite a few homes before the models even opened. And there is lennar's model complex in an overview and some of their renderings of their homes. These are the areas we are focused on for this next year 2019 where we hope to be open. White rock ranch started grading. They have a plan to have model home permits by sometime next year. Schematic I just want -- >> I want to mention that with all of the building activity we have had a lot of inquiries about the activity and so as of today, we have updated the city's website for the folsom plan area with a lot of context and background information, as well as all of the documents and map. This is something that several of you have received questions and comments that you have directed our way. We have given you a link for some interim information why we were building this data. We worked really hard to get this live today so that we can announce tonight that it is available. People can access information in a more user-friendly format with more context for folks understanding that this is certainly an approved project that is growing and becoming part of our community and this is an opportunity for our residents and folks are interested in our community to see the information from the city's perspective. Hopefully you will find this helpful. Always feel free to drive that traffic to us, we are excited about showing you the information in a more user- friendly way. any questions for pam or steve? >> I don't know who wants to take this, but I had a bunch of questions written down you answered all of them but one. As we all know appear an important piece to meeting the needs of the future city of folsom is our new corp. Yard. Just to 15 seconds, everything moving along okay as far as the plans for that. Actually annexing a small piece of property there to get us situation -- situated with a corp. Yard with a lot more capacity. >> thank you council member morin, and Mr. Mayor miklos and members of the council. The annexation process has completed and we are good to go. The transaction itself has not been completed at this time because there is a task that the construction company needs to fulfill . As far as the city is concerned, the city's tasks have all been completed so we are good to go, we are just waiting on that remaining piece before escrow can close. As far as the design and construction of the physical structure, -- >> I know, there is a lot of work left. This was a lot of work getting the situated, my thanks to everyone involved in that. Technically it was difficult as well as other things. Thank you for all of your work on that. >> any questions? >> thank you for this, the only thing I see on here that I was looking for prior was an expected infrastructure and timeline. As far as what residents can expect what will go along with this buildout that incorporates the traffic . I know I see in infrastructure tab on here but I'm not sure if that shows that piece. phasing of improvements like roadway improvements? I think we can add something like that. we do not have it now. But that is something we can certainly incorporate so give us a little time to put that together and I will notify the council when it is up. >> thank you. >> anybody else? Like the last item, if you wouldn't mind providing us with an electronic version of your slideshow we would appreciate. next item please. >> your next item this evening is your consent calendar. >> we have consent items a 3g. -- a through g . >> you want to pull it for question? >> I will move . Call the roll on those items please. [Roll call]. >> item c is read by the clerk. 7c. Resolution no. 10184-a resolution requiring quarterly reports to the city council on "measure e" proceeds and expenditures. >> is is preemptive in cases passes? >> yes. All seconds? [Roll call] >> next item work that takes us to city manager report. >> we will indeed be hosting an open house on wednesday, October 10 from three to 6:30 pm in the senior art center to discuss the proposal from sacramento regional trance fishman transit. Vice mayor sheldon juster assure you it is an open house form over 3 1/2 hours. So we think that the location is proper because the number of people would add and flow. I think we are comfortable there. This issue would be brought before the council on its October 20 third meeting so encourage transit city users to attend. We will publicizes as widely as we can. October 23 will be a big night I counsel because we will also be having a historic district parking workshop. This will discuss the potential implementation of time limit parking in the historic district residential areas. This is in response to concerns raised to him employees and visitors they are using residential parking spaces. Staff will present the issues as well as various options for the councils consideration. This is a workshop format which means a rubino formal action taken but staff is hopeful of having some sort of direction as conclusion to that item. Mark October 23 on your calendar if you are interested in that issue as well. Bark and splashes coming up on saturday. One of my most favorite saturday events if you want to see some super happy dogs frolicking at the full some aquatic center. -- at the folsom aquatic center. Saturday, September 29 from 1 pm to 4 pm. Entry fee is $10 per.But humans are free. Fire department open house and pancake breakfast take place -- takes place sunday, October 30 six at station five. From 9 am until noon. Come and enjoy wonderful pancakes and tour the station . Explore our fire equipment and vehicles and learn some safety tips. And finally, full some high schools -- folsom's high school homecoming will take place on the 23rd. That will be from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm to accommodate the parade. That is all I have. >> thank you. >> anything? >> I wore a blue tie today to express my deepest condolences and respect for the loss of the deputy. I can't even express the respect for our -- I have for our law enforcement community. I want to offer my condolences. Thank you to all of the men and women of law enforcement I appreciate everything you do for us. ditto appear. a couple of things, first of all, as mike alluded to and business from the floor talking about the potential for annexation in reasonable -- regional transit. I want to assure the community that I believe the merits of this will rise to the approval of not only this counsel, but if it takes this item to be discussed at a new counsel next year, we are very comfortable with that. There is know sense of urgency, I know mike is excited. I just wanted to make sure whether this counsel actually addresses that with a vote or a future counsel, it will come in due course. I want to thank the city manager and regional transit folks for setting up the open house. That is when we can really discuss and share the merits of this. That's it. vice mayor? all I want to say is I'm having a little problem with the vision. I got snow blinded from the fireworks. I woke up saturday and could not read the paper or anything else in print. So bear with me if you want to send me an email, me a phone call if it is for an emergency. I'm like sherlock holmes with my big eyeglass to see so I can read it. I hope that goes away . That is all. >> Mr. Mayor did remember. As christine was going to the presentation on the community service day, the 3300 people that works out to four to 5% of our entire population which is incredible. At least one small thing that makes this place as we were recently recognized as one of the best places in california, if not the best to raise a family. I just wanted -- the entire community is a part of that and I think that community service day is probably the best reflection of that. It's an incredible effort so thank you. I agree, I was doing those numbers when christine told me that morning. At the morning it was 3200 and something, then by the afternoon it was 3300 . That's almost 5% of our population. outstanding job I christine and your helpers as well as a community service day committee. It is a lot of work. It's a lot of fun putting it on, even more from the day we actually do the activity even though we are working really hard. It is so prideful in taking actual time to make a difference. And seeing the pictures of that senior and I know where he lives, that meant a lot to him. Good job for that one. The only thing I had was I was disappointed in the sacramento bee article that was about the structure. We had a workshop and I want to clarify. It was not an action item for the structure. I got a lot of emails why we didn't take action with the structure. Zoning code violations are prescribed by law in the manner they have to be dealt with. So even if we came up with a variance or an ordinance, you can't go backwards, they can only go forward. You can't reverse grandfather variance or an ordinance -- ordinance. Our hands are tied and prescribed by law that that code enforcement action has to be taken the way it is. We can certainly through the workshop try to create something differently. But I wanted to clarify because it was inaccurate in the be. Maybe all of us are getting the same emails I am. It was not an opportunity for us to take an action because there was know action to be taken it was a workshop. I also wanted to thank park and rec staff for their outstanding job for putting together the mayors cup golf tournament. That tournament was in its 21st year we averaged about $10,000 a year. Those funds go to do teen center of both middle schools. That's $210,000 over that 21 year time. When you put it all together we have raised over $300,000 for those teen centers. I think the results are paying off widely in what those kids can do now. Congratulations to park and rec staff . A fabulous job and everyone had a great time. I would've preferred the earlier week whether than the friday weather, it was a little warm. Last but not least, I have to report out because I did expenditure some city funds. I got a call from the executive director of the southeast connector project that we are in the final rounds for our $25 million grant. I jumped on the airplane at 11:00 on tuesday and I got back in folsom on friday. We made a very impressionable dent if you will to the heads of state that make the decisions. So much so that they took us to dinner and took us to lunch. I would like to say that is a positive sign. Are are -- hopes her up and we won't know until probably around thanksgiving. We have our fingers crossed for that $25 million. There's a lot of recipients for that money. I want to thank derek and michelle for putting that chip together at the last minute. I met with the D.O.T. Assistant secretary, the secretary of transit and the secretary of federal highways. It was a very high-level meeting and it was nice that they could see that we are just real people like them in the personal connection I think hope goes a long way. With that, we will say good evening everyone
