But- >> good evening mayor and council members. -- information about city works depict city works day is designed to educate the community about the city of folsom, various programs and service -- services. And engage with our community, especially the young people. Are in -- this is held every May and is free to the community got more than 25 interactive experiences are offered to residents, allotting kids to climb aboard a fire engine, what a canine demonstration, or honk the horn of a city bus that the event has been held in 1998. This is our 20th anniversary. The event has grown significantly since-over the last 20 years. Last year, more than 1200 community members attended the event. More than 65 city employees are involved with ringing city works data life. Seven departments representing seven divisions participate. The event has received very positive media coverage from our media partners over sacramento, cbs 13, abc 10, kc ra, the sacramento bee, and folsom telegraph. This year, in keeping with the tradition of our standard timing, every year, we have city works day held on the third wednesday of the month of May. That is next month-excuse me, next week. May 16 from 9:30 A.M. Until noon. It's a free event. It is held at citi lyons park at -- public library. >> is to give you a sense of some of the activities we do, this gives you a feel for the various vehicles we have out from our various departments in the city every day. We also have different trucks and sweepers. We have all kinds of booths, including our water conservation booth, to educate the public, and the employees who staff them to help give them staff -- hands-on experience about what we do and why we do it every day. >> this gives you more of a sense of it. And, the event is billed for all of our residents, from the youngest, all the way to our older residents in the community as well. It's easy for us to talk about things that we -- what we want to do is leave you a lasting impression, with a video clip that we have from kc ra that tells the story of city works day. >> folsom hosts an open house in the city. -- display for kids to get up close and personal. Folsom is making a lot of noise. It is also giving kids and families a pretty good idea of how the city works. Dozens of excited kids got to check out and sit in the vehicle -- garbage truck. Ambulances, fire, along with city buses. The goal of city works day is to educate kids and their parents about the programs. -- >> it is important for them to learn and imac. -- to talk about the importance of recycling. >>> we hope that leaves you with the visual impression about city works day. We are looking forward to celebrating that next week. Thank you. >> your next item this evening is item 5 city. Presentation on the upcoming amgen tour of california, stage 6 men's start. >> almost ready. So, it is now May. The calendar has turned to the month of May. And, May is bike month. In folsom, that is one of our- we have had this weekend ellipses in folsom, we do a whole month of cycling. So, it has already kicked off last weekend with the great scott I cried. I heard thousands of people enjoyed a really nice tour of scott road, south of highway 50 and south of white rock, all the way toward -- and back. But, in the united states of america, there is no bigger way to celebrate meas bike month. A week from friday, we will host a stage for the third time in the city of folsom. The key thing, I think the take away, from our efforts here, that center box there where it says broadcasting over 200 territories and countries around the world. That is one of our key development economic opportunities to advertise the natural beauty of our city, and also that we are cycling friendly community. My purpose tonight is to leave you with a little bit of visual, in anticipation of what we are going to see next week. And also, describe a little bit of the community advisories that we put out there. But, on the day, friday, May 18, you have a morning special, if you would pick a different then the time trial efforts, which turned out to be all day affairs. We know that. But, we were well planned for. But there is a certain level of community disruption associated with epic that is not the case for this year's event. A staged start, which will be conducted on the johnny cash trail. We will be at this for about two hours or so. And the impact for our street systems are going to be measured in minutes, not hours. But next friday, the event starts at 8:15. It's for the community that watches us or hears about it. My recommendation is, get there early, and plan to walk a short distance, because, the rodeo grounds where we are holding yet, there will be no parking data. It will be limited parking around the civic center. And no legal -- parking on the street is encouraged to get there on time. There will be a unique opportunity to see the writers before they start raising. It's a different vibe, if you will. The writers are not all stressed out about their time trial that they are about to race. They are not tired from the race they have just completed. It is very casual in the morning. Very sociable. You can get up close, and maybe grab an autograph or have a chitchat with some of the breast writers in the world. >> at 9:30, the start ceremony begins. The leaders of the race, to this date, are at stage vi. We have had five races up to this point. The race has started to sort itself out a little bit. At 9:40, we have our honor guard and national anthem, and the son of one of our retired city employees was the winner of our national anthem contest. He competed against 16 other locals, and did a fabulous job on that. So, scott rivers, son of dan rivers is going to be our guest singer. At 9:45, the race begins. On the johnny cash trail, on the west side of the robert ravine bridge. It will start in a neutral rollout. They are not actually racing yet. But, they will be lined up as if they are heading down the road. in race formation. But, the clock hasn't started. At 10:30, the lifestyle festival will conclude. Here is the course on the left side of the screen. That is the civic center, and the rodeo park and rodeo grounds. You will see the stage 6 started, the mini festival. It's not a massive festival. It is a mini festival. They will head up the johnny cash trail. The gold stars denote great locations to watch this rollout. They will be going slower, so you will have a chance to see your favorite writers, that sort of thing. They will head up the trail and they will not go off the johnny cash bridge. They will come out on east potomac street, they will hang a right there at east potomac. They will head down to blue ravine, green valley. Take a left at green valley. You will see the little 0 -- in front of mormon island dan. The call that the 0k. That's where the green flag will drop it now, they are racing to south lake tahoe. The squiggly lined map, route, means that it is hilly. It is 122 miles and 16,000 feet of hills, with seven categorized climb, it cycling terms, that means it's hard. Really, really hard. That is what it looks like to race from folsom to south lake tahoe. It would be an epic event. Probably the deciding event of the race. Though, that would be something good to watch. I understand that the tv broadcast will be 1:30 pm to 4 pm live on nbc sports. And, if you will indulge me for a moment, I will show you what the world will see from folsom. About our stage. I will give you the 32nd video -- the 30 seconds commercial produced by visit folsom. That will advertise our city to the world. >>> [Music]. >>> there is our partners, our key partners. There are a number of them. Supporting the effort this year. But, we are looking forward to a tremendous event next friday. And, that they would not be complete without a bike ride. It will be a celebration. A short, 27 mile ride up to rescue and back. A little longer 45 mile ride to shingle springs rescue and back. We are partners with rei, folsom bike, and concluding with lazy dog. There will be a watch party with all of the tvs and the lazy dogs, patio and bar will be tuned to this channel. We have just about all the food you are going to be able to eat. If you are writing the right. The rights are free, but $10 to it attend the watch party. We will have lots of swag. Raffle prizes. It should be a lot of fun. And, I haven't told you. We have notified 400 residents of the very specific road closure times. in this year's event, only the residence that live on the lake side of east natoma, so -- morning walk, and the knolls development because of the few residents that will have a short, inconvenience of about 40 minutes or so from 9:30 to 10:15, as we close the course for a short period of time. We have received a personal letter from the city on that. And then, the residents that live near stafford street and mormon are getting a personal visit this week. They are not going to be locked down. But there will certainly be a lot of congestion for a couple of hours on friday morning for the event. We are just advising them to get out early, or shelter in place, as they say. But, it won't be nearly the imposition at the time trial. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. That concludes my report. >> so, robert? There is a reason why you are our park and rec department -- directed. Outstanding. Thank you for bringing -- back and thank you for hosting your community to a wild, wild fun event. Fully, you will continue for many years. -- in conjunction, coordination with pd and fire and all the other affected department.

But all of the other departments, public works, community development, public safety department, very important. And I didn't also mention the mayor rise -- mayors right is friday. They opened with payers -- mayors bike month. >> as long as you are talking about the mayors right, I want you to know, we have a captive audience. >> this friday the 11th, food at the top of the parking structure, 8 am. We rollout at 9 am. We are heading for the capital. This year instead of being sponsored by -- it is sponsored by the air quality management district and the highway 50 tma. They are doing the a great job getting the city on their bikes. It's an alternative mode of transportation to driving. >> for those that want to write data, it is mostly downhill. We have light rail passes for you to come back. Thank you, robert. >> I happen to be in robert's office a couple of years back. When he got the phone call that al -- acknowledged that amgen was coming to folsom. Robert, you take a lot of credit because you made that happen. They told you you were -- they were coming.

The first is from dean ross. The second is from stephanie haley. >> these are items that you get to speak to the a counsel of items not on the agenda. -- so we can be recognized and know what item you want to speak up. If we look like we are deer in the headlight because it is not an agenda item, we are not allowed to answer questions. Deliberations -- if it's an agenda item for future consideration, counsel gives the direction to the city manager a good evening. I had to do that disclaimer because people wonder why we don't respond and stuff like that. Because we can't. >> good evening. My name is dean ross. I have owned and operated a company called -- housing connections for the last 25 years. About 25 year -- 10 years ago, we moved into folsom. But a building on folsom boulevard. We have loved being in folsom. That is, until about a month ago. And, that is when the out of bounds brewery moved in next door. Quite frankly, we were all really looking forward to this brewery opening in the neighborhood. It was going to be a fun place to go and get lunch and get dinner or grab a beer. Unfortunately, it has been a nightmare ever since. Little did we know that this is much more than a restaurant. It is really an open air venue. An open air venue capable of holding 400+ people, because it has. We observed it. If this development was approved by the folsom planning department, with only 58 parking places, -- . This is barely adequate for their employees, let alone their customers. As a result, our development has been overrun with brewery patients, desperate to find parking. Swarming over our parking lot, destroying our landscaping as they are looking for shortcuts to get into the brewery. Our business and that of our neighbors have been seriously disrupted. Our associations had to purchase expensive fencing between our properties to replace the ones that the developer took out. Our association has had to hire private security to protect our property from brewery patrons. We have appealed to the brewery for assistance. They said it is not the responsibility. We have appealed to the folsom planning department. They claim the brewery parking meets the letter of the law. How is 58 parking places meeting the letter of the law for 400+ people? It doesn't make sense. Our businesses are suffering. Our property is being damaged. Our live -- liability to exposure has increased exponentially. Our association is facing extraordinary expenses to protect itself from this external thread. I am here just asking for relief. I respectfully request that this counsel either amend the brewhouse as a conditional use permit to require adequate parking. Or, revoke the permit entirely. Also, please consider requiring reimbursement for our out-of- pocket costs for fencing and security that we have incurred as a result. Of this error. Thank you so much for your consideration. >> I appreciate you bringing this to our attention. I am watching our planning director making copious notes. Will coordinate later picked >> next is stephanie haley. Stephanie will be followed by larry washington. >> good evening. I am actually just -- I had a couple of questions. About seven months ago, on the folsom heights phase 1 community -- on the county line of sacramento. That is actually adjacent to the stone briar developments. I am just curious, I think it's seven months now. There are design changes for the first phase development, which is now -- ranch, I understand. I'm just curious if the boulder is still planning to build on that phase 1 area, which is now not phase I anymore. And, if there is a developer, builder, or someone in escrow on that piece of land? And, where I can find the changes that we talked about seven months ago. At the has been any new development on that road change, development changes, that I can update myself and my community. I'm just wondering where I can, or if -- on that those changes has taken place yet. >> leave your contact information for plan -- pam nelson, our learning director come she can forwarded that too. I can tell you, there have been no changes with the eba. >>> next. >> next speaker is larry washington. >> good evening. >> good evening. I am larry washington, speaking on behalf of of the lake put toma plaza owners association at 13405 folsom boulevard. We are owners of 10 individual buildings. And, over 35 individual businesses. We share over 100 employees that share 200 -- 232 parking spaces, at a cost of $60,000 per year to maintain. We are asking for the city's help. We have new neighbor to the north, the brewery who became our neighbor. It opened up about three weeks ago. They have 57 parking spaces. The problem, they have evenings and weekends, a staff of over 50 workers. And, as many as 500 guests. We are the next drive over, with our 232 parking spaces, and that becomes their parking lot. They have totally filled every single space, and when we pull out, there are two cars waiting for a spot. In the first three weeks, we have tried to secure our property at the expense of over $5000. To one, put up a temporary fence, which, the out of bounds had taken down. Security services, temporary signage, and a towing regiment, which we reluctantly have done. We met with the owners of the brewery, and with the developers, and hopes things could work out. They are not at fault, and, we believe that their customers, too, are not at fault. We sat down and tried to work out a solution for some borrowed parking. They are looking for a working solution as well, and I think they are looking around to secure some more parking. We want them to succeed, and we want them to do well. But, not at our expense. We consulted with our insurance providers, and our attorney, and found out that we could not share any of our parking spaces without extreme cost to rewrite our ccn ours and become a retailer, and extreme liability on the insurance I. Unfortunately. So, the out of bounds brewery and the property owners will not help us with the fence cost or the signage, permanent signage, unless we give them parking. This is not okay. We need the city of folsom to help in maybe three look at this in the planning portions. And, require, perhaps, a fence, or help us with the cost of the fence. And, and appropriate parking solution for the brewery. We don't want to monitor our parking every day, which we have been doing. Or, pay for security, or have people towed. >> can you go ahead and wrap up for me? Your time is up. >> we are now putting up a temporary fence, at the cost of $7500. We were told that they would not participate with that. Being an architect, I know that when you count for parking spaces, they needed-I went to the bar-they need to count the covered outside overhang area. They need to count the areas around five fire pits outside. And, they need to count for higher density around the standing room at a bar, as well as get the fire marshal to check for existing exiting requirements to get out of the outside area. We need to-a permanent solution, and we need it quickly, because it is costing us quite a bit to continue. Thank you. >> thank you so much. Do you want to leave your contact information with our planning director as well? She would be happy to take that for follow-up. >> I have been told about this problem. It is a problem. So, elaine, would you kindly give me a copy of the minutes of the planning commission? And the dates of the planning commission? I would like to see this work was discussed, and what was a day? I appreciate that. I will share it with everybody. >> elaine, isn't that information available on the website already? >> it should be posted online, yes. >> thanks. >> any further questions? Okay. >> next item is your consent calendar. As announced earlier, item 7c has been amended. >> -- otherwise, as amended, motion will be in order. >> I will move. >> g as in girl. Okay.

Councilmember gaylord, howell, moria, sheldon, and miklos. >> first item is public hearing? >> first item major public hearing 10 b. Folsom branch finance authority. City of folsom, district number 20, russell -- russell ranch, special tax revenue bond, series 2018. The resolutions on every 10,121, and resolution number 003-f rfa. >> good evening, Mr. Mayor. Members of the council. I am jim francis, the finance director. I am presenting the request to authorize revenue bonds for -- number 20. the city council approved the formation of this district in November 2017. And, the bonds are to provide for and finance primarily, the backfill of the infrastructure and the in track infrastructure, as well as some landscaping services. Russell ranch is in three phases. It is bounded by highway 50 on the north, and plaster ville road. And, white rock road on the south. So, that is the area included in cfd 20. The total cost of the facilities that are going into serving cfd is $166 million. And, you see the breakdown between the backbone infrastructure and interact backbone. Sections of it. This particular issuance of tax revenue bonds is for an amount not to exceed $15 million. It will be used to pay for the cost of acquisition of some of those facilities, as well as the debt reserved capitalized interest and some cost of issuance. Currently, the total assessment appraised value is $55,310,000. The cfd has -- is in compliance with your policies, and that the value to lean ratio is greater than 3:1. And the protected -- projected tax burden what is less than 2%. In taking these actions, you are approving various documents, legal documents that will issue the bonds, including the official statement and the bond purchase agreement. also, you are authorizing the officers of the finance authority to execute those bonds, and take whatever actions are necessary to issue the bonds. With that, I would recommend approval of city council resolution 10121, and the folsom ranch financing authority resolution number 003. >> any questions for jim? >> so, jim, and you bring this up all the time, when you have is before us. You mentioned the policy of keeping the tax below 2%. And, this comes out at 1.6%. Does that include-I guess that is property tax. Does that include all the property tax? >> yes. >> I had a question on that before, and I assume that was the answer. So, thank you. >> anybody else, any questions? Okay. This is a public hearing. I will open this republic,. No late requests. Okay. We will close the public hearing. I will move the item. >> I will second. >> -- movies individually. >> individually, please. >> I will move item 10 bia resolution number 10121. >> second. >> councilmember gaylord, howell, moria, sheldon, and miklos. >> I will go ahead and move resolution number 003-f rfa. >> second. >> call role please. councilmember, gaylord, howell, moria, sheldon, and miklos. >>> we will go ahead >> we will adjourn back to the regular city council many picnics will be public hearing item 88, this is resolution number 10,118. A resolution adopting the city manager's fiscal year 18/19 operating and capital budgets for the city of folsom. The successor agency, the wholesome public financing authority and the folsom ranch public financing authority. >> I tried to lock the door this time so no one could get out. But the fire marshal -- >> people were trying to get into the meeting. >> this is-I am not going to present they entire proposed budget again. But, I will present certain changes and amendments to that budget, and the impact of those on the entire budget. >> really, three major items. The first was that we have eliminated the police contract for the folsom lake dam security. That is our information that that is a good possibility of not happening. So, we have taken that out of the budget. If it does happen in the future, we can certainly come back and amend the budget to put it back in. But, we have eliminated it for this presentation. That reduced the general fund revenues and expenses by $1.6 million. We also added the livermore part turf replacement project, and that adds $800,000 to the general fund, both on the revenue and expense side. The third item that was referred from the council. That was brown trip shading to parks and rec, where we are recommending that that get referred to the commission to study the impacts of that. I will take that up a little more into detail. When we looked at it, there are 52 existing playgrounds, and 31 separate swing apparatus locations. When you put one of the shade structures up, there are issues concerning time of day, and where the sun is in accordance with that apparatus. Who you are going to serve, whether they are young adults or smaller. The coverage area, coverage design, in terms of solid canvas, or the sales, as they call them, type of design. Each area would have wind and tension load differences that you would have to take into consideration for anchoring it. And then, existing underground conditions, including utilities and soil types. You would have to do to the existing parks. We did have some experience with economy park. This was an alternative, and add alternative, of which there were four bids that ranged from $65,000-$100,000. Given those figures, you have roughly a 5.4-$8 million price take to do the entire city. And, given simply the magnitude of that and the issues that would be surrounding that, we are recommending that it be referred to the parks and rec commission to look at the feasibility, and study that, in terms of the priorities in the park master plan. >> in regards to the other two items, the police contract, and livermore part, the turf replacement, these are the impacts on the seven different funds that you are approving. The general fund is reduced by that $842,000. That I mentioned earlier. The enterprise fund has a small decrease. Your main impact is with your special revenue fund, which increases, because we are using some quimby funds for the turf replacement. And, the internal service funds, which go out because we are using some absences and risk-management funds for both the park and the replacement, and the grant replacement. Your capital projects fund has a very small impact, fiduciary funds and debt service funds don't have any impact at all. So, the total rises by about $129,000 for the total of the seven different projects-seven different funds. In looking at just the general fund itself, none of the property tax/sales taxes/occupancy tax. None of those were affected by any of the moves. We have not changed any of those proposals. The charge for services was reduced because that's where the income from the grand cayman. You are transferred in, transfers in from other funds has increased. That is how we brought in the money to pay for the turf replacement, and actually some of the loan, the grant. I'm sorry. >> this shows on your charges for services. We didn't touch anything else in terms of revenue from parks and rec and ambulance fees. It is only the police contract amount that is affecting that. The impact on the staffing recommendations, with the folsom dam security contract out, these nine positions were taken out of the budget, that were associated with that, which reduces your general fund from 360 positions to the 351. And, 27, roughly, to 18 positions. None of the utilities -- were affected by that. The rest of the positions remain as they were originally presented. >> in terms of by category, your salaries and benefits are reduced because of the staffing decreases that we had from the grant. And, the redline is the new number that you would have pick you can see the reductions, in terms of both salaries and benefits. The outlay is increased by $800,000, reflecting the turf replacement. And, I brought in just-itemize the benefit detail because we have talked so much about furs. Obviously, when you reduce the positions, that goes down. At does your fica contribution, and your help contribution, because we used some of that money from risk-management to fund the park. >> in terms of by department, general government, fire, community development, public works and library all go down slightly. Again, that was due to the risk- management allocations going down. Police is the one major effect, which goes from 24.4 to 22.9 million. And, the author writes positions go from 12 down to three. -- 3. That's the biggest change. Parks and rex goes up from 15 6 to 15 four. Again, reflecting the addition of the turf replacement. In terms of the general tax revenue pie, there is very little change to that, because of this amendment. General government, community development, and non- departmental go down somewhat. Public safety remains roughly the same. And, parks and rex goes up slightly. Your fund balance, and our commitment in the budget does not change. We are still committed to $1 million, adding that in this budget, to grow up to 18.4 and keep it within 20% of your expenditures, 24.6%. So, there is no change in the budget, as it would affect your fund balance. Without- >> for any questions for jim? >> in regards to the play structure, I think it's a good idea to kick it back to the commission. I would recommend, from what i have heard as far as feedback from that idea, is to obviously not propose going fill out, but doing specific parts in specific boroughs, if you will, the city. To give options for folks to have negotiated structures. I don't know what that is in there or not >> that is in fact exactly -- am I just add a little bit to the dialogue. That is exactly what we are intending to do. Given that this is a new program, and given the current status of the parks natural plant, it made sense for the parks and recreation commission to answer exactly those questions. Where do we start? And, what is the program within the starting points once we select the park? Are we looking for new day shade, or early-morning shade? It really serves different audiences. And so, we wanted to really get that exercised in the time that we have allowable, within the budget cycle, which isn't enough to really get to those answers. But, we expect to have that well exercised by next year's budget. >> I would like to mention, we have tried this before, trying to find shade for this. It is not an easy thing to do. And, we have had some attendance -- attempts, but the wind destroyed everything we did. But, everything is new. As time goes, it gets better material, better concepts. it is worth the study. Think the parks commission is the right spot to start. With that price tag, obviously, that is not a priority for every park in the city. But, as roger said, you can be selective. The part commission would know by attendance, which one to go, and figure it out if they could get the right equipment. And I appreciate that you found the money for the -- . That big crowd that disrupt the dust. They would like to know that, too. Because they play on that. It's a safety hazard. I appreciate the city manager and financial director and everybody doing it. If you had to give in certain things internally, under budget, with that stop you from voting tonight on the budget. I would like to meet with you, and see the areas-I remember what the city manager told me many years ago. As I was watching tv one night, I would be worried. I don't watch the city council speak very interesting. What they are doing and what we are doing. -- indicated, they had a $30 million, at the time, fund. I guess a rainy day fund. I thought, my gosh, that's a lot of money. That's when we were coming out of our problem. I asked the city manager, -- you have answered me completely. He said, it wasn't so much of a challenge to build a fund real quick. the problem is to invest in the community and keep it moving over it and keep providing the services to the people. That velocity is what we have done. And what we have done well. I -- again, if we had to come up with $800,000, $600,000 somewhere, a fly, I would like to meet with you and see where you got it and what I can do about it. >> and Mr. Mayor, if I could add a little bit, I think jim explained it well. Maybe I could use different words, and it might be clay. There is really only one item in the budget that was presented to you on 23 April that doesn't exist today. That is all of the associated revenues and expenses for the dam security contract. That is all epic that has a bit of a cascading effect that Mr. Francis, I think demonstrated. With regard to the addition to budget. That is the livermore artificial turf -- artificial turf refurbishment project. I am sad-I know jim was very excited to present that part of the budget to them, and he did tell me that when he saw that all of the crowd outside waiting for what he thought was waiting for the budget presentation. So, I know how disappointed he was to see them leave. Let me explain it to you this way. >> -- >> I bet they are. There is nothing that this is replacing in the budget. We are not doing without any single thing in order to accommodate this. Essentially, what we are doing is continuing, and perhaps accelerating a little bit what we have been doing, as we have gotten our internal service funds back up to help. And, that is reduce their burden on the rest of the budget. So, they are taking a smaller percentage of the payroll. Even a smaller percentage than what we had proposed this year. Had, we will take a closer look at those next year to make sure that we didn't over accelerate, reducing that capacity. You are absolutely right. What I have said 1 million times, with regard to our financial budgeting and our investment in the community. We are not really here to build a balance sheet. We are here to build a community. So, we save money when we need to, and we invest money when we should in the proper way, so all we have really done is reduce our savings rate, if that makes sense to you. And, we don't believe we have reduced it too far, but we will report back to you next year, what we think we might need to do in order to make sure that our savings continues to keep pace, as our expenses bill. So, there is no this for that here. >> very good answer. Perfect. >> thank you. >> anyone else -- anything else for jim? >> just one comment related to shade stuff. i know where I used to take my kids, there was actually decent tree shade. So, let's not lose sight of those opportunities, rather than just all manufactured stuff. I know that is a slow solution, but, if this is going to be phased in, I think looking down the line, 50-20 years, I think we all like to plant trees in this community. There might be some good opportunities for some of the stuff that can be figured into a slower solution. But, that is just a comment for the look that parks and rec has on that. >> I think that is what andy's comment is, it's a particularly good solution for the fund angle issue. Mitchell park, as an example, because of where that park is located, just below my house, there is not much you can do in the later hours in the day. The fund is going to be there. They should build a wall. >> I have another comment. I look at the issues you, more and more, the budget. I think we need to convene a special-not to stop approval, but after we do this, we have got to sit down and look at all the departments that are being programmed for overtime and salaries. And, when I came on this counsel 9.5 years ago, -- and the fire department was the overhead and extra hours. And, I know how great people in the departments are. I am not criticizing it. But, we need to look at everything. i think it was the public works, where they --- maybe I have to know more. Because they said in public works, in certain areas, -- standard. $400,000-$4000. For overtime. For different areas. We always -- $180, or whatever. Somehow, you hope that $4000 is not a real issue if every year they keep coming in under -- or maybe an answer and I don't know it. Maybe it is a county thing. But, in any case, the fire department, that has been going on every year for the 10 years I have been sitting on this chair. Now, I give credit to andy back in 07 before I came here. He had a good proposal, which would -- and visionary, about using overtime to cut into -- . He thought -- is going to be a problem. However, -- we didn't see what was going to happen in 08, when the nation collapsed. What we needed at the right time with actual money. Not -- money. They got us in trouble. In the meantime, we had downgraded the spot. Well, we will upgrade the numbers of the firemen. Okay? But, we have not decreased the overhead at all with the overtime pay. So, we have got the wrong model, or I don't understand how we fund that. Okay? I think a workshop where we just go over-I think that workshop should be concurrent with department heads with us. So we can kick it around. Maybe get one of the conference rooms, and just for education. It is confusing when you look at it. Other departments have the same thing. You have the standard objection -- projection doesn't even match up. I think-the only thing I would have-I think we need to study -- to hold the department, hold the city, how we use our overtime. >> the only comment I would make an that is, I would agree with you that overtime is a fairly complicated subject. So, for instance, in fire, we don't budget for the oas reimbursement, or the expense when we sent a crew out to fight a forest fire. So, that is all on overtime. We don't budget for it, because we get reimbursed for it. When we use it, we come back and get modifications. So, it makes the budget look like you are going over budget a lot on your overtime, when you are really not. Because, we have an equal amount of revenue coming in. The other is that, part of that, and that is true for all the departments, is that we don't over budget the staff. So, for instance, if there is a- I will take refuse-if there is a driver out, or a couple of drivers out, we haven't budgeted for an extra, or reserve driver or anything. So, we have got to cover that route. That is usually done to overtime. so, those are the kinds of reasons. There are reasons in each department for that. I believe, and I could go back and look, I think the actual overtime number that we have in the budget this year is down from last year, the proposed budget is actually down from last year. But, again,- >> the ones I saw, it didn't reflect that anyway. >> it is a case-by-case thing. >> I am not indicating any abuse. I don't think-do you have to work overtime? Do you need to be paid? I have no problem. But, I have got to understand how come we can't fix that problem, because at least with 10 or more firemen, outstanding firemen to add to our outstanding firemen so we don't cut that number. If you told me that you were forecasting, when the cruise go out to fight fires elsewhere, and that overtime, I would be less concerned. But, you are not. That is overtime for right here in the city. That's what I can't understand. Because, it can't the fire people. I think they are too damn good for that. It has got to be a model of some sort-. I just think we need to get together with department heads to figure out what that is >> maybe it would be helpful to go back, especially fire, that something we can't predict, we don't know when the next flight wildfire will take place. I wonder if you could get some information from the fire chief and the back over the course of the last eight years, or whatever, find out how much overtime has been charged because we have crews on wildfires outside the city, and how much money came back in. I think that might explain it. Because, it basically gets corrected a couple of times a year when we get to stick the money back from the state. >> but, I don't think it is. I know what you are saying. That's what confuses me. You don't program that tied. Where it happens that you get reimbursed think this is overtime that this doesn't consider on the budget, anyways. Like you said, it did not get considered. >> the fact that we don't overstep. We don't have extras, if you a pic >> it does show up on your budget document, though. As current years become prior years, the actual overtime expenditures are reflected in those numbers. >> if they are not budgeted prospectively, the reactions to those stimulus are in fact indicated in the budget in the historical section. As you look at the previous years, those numbers are in there. >> the budget from last year has -- >> that is correct. >> -- public works, I see $4000. -- 180, 190. -- for both the two years. Both of them are 180, 190 actual. That doesn't make sense to me. -- conservative -- >> we will undertake an analysis of overtime. What I can tell you is, overtime tends not to be program. It is a responsive thing. I will tell you that we burned a whole lot of overtime back in March, when we had those significant rain events. That lasts for over a number of days. Even though, you might accurately predict events like that, over the course of years, by over budgeting for them, when we know that we might have other ways to find those overtime hours, you create real tension in the budget prospectively, where you might be cutting out things like replacing the turf in livermore park, if we were to over anticipate those type of emergencies in our budgets. So, that's a little bit of the art and science of doing it. And, that is why-it is kind of hard to say that we have an overtime program that needs to be tweaked, because it is not really a program. >> that would be great if what you just described, I would ask, as a Councilman, just give me an idea-for example, I know, we have -- such a big difference, it doesn't rain every year. >> we will do some research and establish the trends as they exist, and we will be able to share those with you. >> that's fine. thank you. >> you bet. >> any other questions for jim? >> good job. >> this is a public hearing so I will open the public hearing side. The public hearing is now open. Anybody wish to come down and speak on this item, please feel free to do that. >> we have no requests to speak. >> -- with that, I will go ahead and close the public hearing. >> I will move resolution 10118. Motion? >> I will second. >> the motion is second. For the discussions? Call role-plays >> councilmember gaylord, howell, moria, sheldon, and miklos. >> next item please? >> the next item this evening's new business item nine a. This is ordinance 1284 and ordinance amending section 2.06.010 of the folsom municipal code regarding city council salaries. This is introduction and first reading of the ordinance. >> Mr. Mayor and the members of the city council, stephen wong, city attorney. The council -- reviewed city council salaries, roughly 20 years ago. And, this item is about adjusting the amount of compensation councilmembers and the mayor. The folsom city council requires counsel salary beset by ordinance. So, in 1985, the council adopted an ordinance and established counsel salary at $100 per month, with an additional $50 to the mayor. In 1990, councilmember -- counsel amended the ordinance and increase the salary to $400 per month, with an additional $100 to the mayor. And then, they responded to a recession in 1992 the city council reduced its salary by 25%. Quickly, the counsel amended the ordinance again, providing that the counsel salary was set in the ordinance of the maximum amount in the actual salary, not exceeding the maximum adopted by the council by resolution. So, between 1993 and 1998, councilmembers were paid $300 per month, with an additional $75 to the mayor. And then, in 1998, the council adopted a resolution setting counsel salary at the maximum, which is $400 per month. And, an additional $100 to the mayor. Also, in 1998, the council also asked compensation to the board of directors for the folsom public financing authority at $200 a month. So, combining the two amounts, the $400 for city council, and the $200 for serving on the folsom finance-public financing authority. Councilmembers have been receiving a total of $600 per month. And, the mayor has been receiving a total of $700 a month. Since then, there have been no further adjustments to the counsel salary. and, with the assistance of our finance folks, the $400 figure from 1998 equates to 614 dollars in today's dollars. And, the $100 additional fun for the mayor increases to $154. Steve, did you include or not, the public financing authority money? >> no, ma'am. $400 and $100 is just the counsel salary. There are $200 authorized by the counsel for serving on the board of the folsom public financing authority. That is not part of tonight's discussion. But, it is still valid. It is still the $200 per month. So, in the sacramento region, mayor and council member salaries are as follows. They range between $300-$800 per month. As you can see, folsom is one of the lowest. Sacramento is way out there. With that, steph is thinking -- seeking counsel direction with the -- counsel salary that you May wish to establish. -- ordinance number 1284. And then introduce the conduct first reading of that ordinance. Before we do that, that is provided in the city charter. No increase in city council salaries shall take place until the start of the terms of the councilmember elected at the next regular election, which is November 6 2018. The counsel -- at a new salary maximum. Staff will be but within -- a resolution to set the actual amount of the salaries. in a future meeting. -- a new salary, the counsel May wish to adopt for the city council. Happy to answer any questions you May have. >> any questions for the city attorney? >> I jump in. I am the one that has been talking about this for a while, getting feedback from a lot of people in the community that would love to take a run, sit up here and represent their community in this capacity. What I have heard loud and clear is if you look at the composition sitting up now, there are not a lot of 9-to-5 is a. In fact, I would say there are not any non-five -- a peer. Some form or fashion, we have opportunities, very rare as they are. To be able to have employers allow -- to have extra time off for all the things we do. I know there are a lot of stresses on the commitments being a city councilmember. What people don't always see, we are shocked when we tell them how many commissions and committees we sit on outside of this building on a regular basis. My premise for bringing forward, number one, I am not running in November. So, there is no self-serving interest in whatsoever. I thought it was appropriate. Number two, it is appropriate to talk about it now, because we don't -- haven't had any type of adjustment since 1998. I think it is appropriate to recognize that our salaries, in my opinion, is holding people back from the opportunity to be able to run for city council. That way, if they do need to participate, and they should and expect to participate in -- commissions. They shouldn't have to burn the sick time other vacation time or leave time or whatever they have to call it to do their total community work. That I know they would love to do, it's a detriment to the family, that is holding a lot of people back. That is the sacrifice they do in order to do this job. So, looking forward, I think you will probably agree with me, we have some concerns, probably within the last 60-90 days about seeing changes in interest rates, some adjustments and some of the factors used, like -- . There are more that is coming like -- I don't want to wait another counsel. Hopefully we don't wait another 20 years to look at salaries and go, what are we doing right or wrong or otherwise? I would like to make sure there is an opportunity for anybody at any time that wants to run for city council and take the next step in their community to know that they can do that and not have the detriment of taking either a city council job or the family. Because, loud and clear, and I use one of my former colleagues, he was the former mayor two times. That was one of the reasons for leaving the city council. It was hurting the time he was spending with his family, and participating as his kids were growing up. So, I would like to start our conversation by saying we are actually at 400 for base salary. I would like to propose that to 600. Be somewhat consistent with the mayors we compete with. Number one and number two. I think we need to keep intact the psa caught $200 per month. Not only that. It also helps offset
