good evening. We will call to order the regular meeting for folsom city council. Clerk, please call the roll. >>[Roll call]. Steve miklos will be noted as absent. >> please rise and join us for the pledge of allegiance. >>[Pledge of allegiance] >> we had one item that was up guided. Item number 8a. Are there any others? >> no others but 9a was a request for continuance. >> we will move to the resolution of commendation honoring the folsom vista Jr. Eagles for receiving the 2015 soaring to excellence award. >> I like those shirts. >> before I read this resolution and before we introduce these scholar athletes, I wanted to make a few quick comments. The thing I love doing and why it's important is because if you think about the future of folsom, it's children. If you take a look at what's happened and we are recognizing these students and the future of folsom is bright. There are a lot of good athletes , but it takes something special to be a good athlete and scholar. These are students that are not only good or great athlete but also great scholars. That's probably more important and as important as being a tremendous that we. I was a parent and had a daughter in cheer for many years. Aside from being expensive, it's a highly consuming time of your life. It was extremely meaningful for me and my wife and for my now 24-year-old daughter. It made a difference in her life and daughter structure and discipline. I know the commitment my wife and I made to our daughter and I know the commitment you are making to your kids here. On these the plastic side -- on the scholastic side, these are incredible athletes. People don't always talk about that, these girls are real athletes. I would say they are probably better athlete than some of the football players. [Laughter]. The scholastic side is very important. The fact that your children are accomplishing the grade point averages they are accomplishing is attributable to the parents. I want to congratulate each of you. This is a proud moment. Not only proud of your children but what you did and your commitment to children. Thank you. I know I speak for my colleagues as well. This is a resolution of the city of folsom honoring the folsom vista Jr. Eagles for receiving the 2015 soaring to excellence award. The folsom vista Jr. Eagles are a youth cheer association for the city of folsom working with the guidelines for the high school and the program helps people prepare for success. And whereas folsom vista Jr. Eagles demonstrated commitment to scholastic and athletic commitment. the city of folsom supports this commitment to superior academic and athletic achievement and whereas to rent the award, maintain a grade point average of 3.0 or better during the football and cheer season. That's important. These kids have a big loads during the season and in school. I jeff starsky on behalf of steven miklos, mayor of folsom and the city council and community do hereby extend commendations to the folsom vista Jr. Eagles for earning the sword to excellence award and encourage their continued scholastics excellence into the future today, February 24, 2016 . >> [Applause] >> I will at the coaches and teachers say a few words. >> I know what is expected during your cheer season during practice and your homework, projects and all your asked to do. You go to school and spend up to three hours in cheer practice. We are grateful for your dedication and commitment and for all the hard work you do. I know it pays off for you in your life's -- lives. It adds to the community as we cheer on the boys in our community and the other kids in our programs and community. We are proud of you and how hard you work in our cheeprogram and in your academics. Good job. >> [Applause] >> we will call out each of your names and we will hand you to certificate. Remember, you are on television. >> ashley back -- beck. >> evelyn boyd, mia[Name indiscere], cara [Name indiscernible], nila [Name indiscernible], emma [Name juliana, brenna, sofia, linden, anna, allison, lauren, julia, alyssa, kennedy, mackenzie, abbie, peyton martin, madison, keira, madison, lauren ortiz, kaitlyn rogers, sydney, kiley, gabbie, jordon, emily, and [Name indiscernible]. >> [Applause] >> as we get ready to celebrate our football players, I want to give thanks to our cheerleaders. These are great athletes. We got together every saturday at livermore park and celebrated wins and losses. We loved our kids whether they won or lost. Through our sister program -- vista program it became the real when -- win. My last few words before we get started, vista blue. [Certificate presentation] >> [Applause] >> [Applause] >> [Applause] >> [Applause] >> jeff, let me say a couple words. Correct me if I am wrong but I think you are celebrating your 10th anniversary? That is quite an accomplishment. I have been with this group since the beginning along with the bulldogs. It's great to see two groups work together. Soon they will be reconstructing the home bleachers for the high school. Also, I give a lot of credit to andy more in the console. In a couple of years you will have a facility. >> [Applause] >> it's always wonderful to see everybody here. How many are here for the first time? Welcome and don't be shy. You can stop by any second or fourth tuesday of the month. Congratulations. >> congratulations to the students and athletes. It's amazing to have all those balls in the air. As jeff said, it's the dedication of the parents. Thank you for raising great kids in folsom. >> how about a round of applause for the coaches. >> [Applause] >> we will give you a chance to clear out unless you want to stay. >> [Laughter] >> we will continue the exciting part of the meeting. We will move on to a presentation by the 50 corridor transportation management association on their efforts to assist all 50 corridor communities with a league of american bicyclists' bicycle friendly designation. >> property holder -- roger holder appearing this evening. Tma has been in existence for over 20 years. Folsom was a founding member of the tma pickup it serves to help the employers and governmental agencies along the highway 50 corridor to advance car pulling, bicycle safety. Tonight we will talk about regional connectivity. Without further ado, rebecca garrison. >> thank you for giving us this opportunity to talk about our project. I will put this project into the context of a larger project which is an effort called the bicycle friendly 50 initiative to make the bicycle corridor from a. Regional connectivity was a cold in the 2007 folsom bikeway. Weather for work, recreation or transportation and the ability for cyclists from sacramento or el dorado hills visiting folsom. It's targeting four communities along the corridor. In many ways the city of folsom inspired the concept. About a decade ago folsom was the first city along the 50 corridor to become a bike from the community which was designated by the league of american cyclists. We decided to use you for a model for the rest of the corridor. Here are the communities we are currently working with I and their status. Rancho cordova, bronze. El dorado hills, honorable mention. It's almost impossible to get bronze on their first try. They are moving along just fine and they are very enthusiastic. Camden park -- cameron park is in the application process. Once you get your designation, you have to reapply and folsom is in the process. You start with bronze and advancedto silver pickup we hope to advance. I would like to call your attention to the photograph at the top. We have representatives from the private and public sector. It has turned out to be a large group. It's been wonderful to see how dedicated they are to help each other. They are committed to the fifty corrider. Many cyclists know it's about connections. This is from our meeting two weeks ago when we were celebrating el dorado hills' honorable mention. The league is not complacent for handing out bicycle from the applications. There is more innovation, education, activities, infrastructure. That is where our bicycle friendly business district comes into focus. >> our new strategy for oppressing the week of bicyclists is to have a President For pursuing this effort. As we were working on this strategy, we realized two things. First, the historic district is already h@k bicycle friendly. We had a good platform to work from. This strategy is not just about bicycles. It's about economic development. It's about encouraging folsom residents to use their bicycles, buy local, they have a secure place to leave their bicycle, it makes streets more active and helps with tourism efforts. Folsom is a magnet for recreational cycles on the weekends. We think this will help us with our next application process on August 9. >> here at the strategies we are pursuing. We have had bike valet parking in the past. We are talking with farmers markets to bring back free bike valet parking. I am disappointed that the mayor miklos is not here because I was going to call out his right. That is scheduled for May 12. We also have the johnny cash ride on May 29. Both start in the historic district. We will bring cyclists here from the region to experience the historic district. We have long-term strategies -- >> how can it be that the johnny cash ride is starting in the historic district and not at the bridge? >> we start at the light rail station so that people can get here from other places. We go around the lake and across the bridge. >> the bridges part of it? >> yes. We stop at the prison for a presentation and talk about the future park. We have to give the cyclists at least 12-15 miles to write. >> longer-term strategies include infrastructure, marketing, keeping activities available to keep cyclists coming to the district. >> this is a 1 mile radius from the historic district. 1 mile is a pretty easy ride. We do have residential areas we can target to come to the historic district on their bicycle for dinner or shopping. This is jerry schroeder. He is a volunteer at pioneer village pickup helping with this project. It's great to have blacksmi at your disposal. >> not a lot of people can say they have that. >> I know, it's cool. These are bike racks that were given to us. Very functional but not very attractive. Jerry is going to turn these into the most beautiful bike racks. He has been working with the historic society to come up with signs that reflect the history of the district. Lastly, we have a website so that you can follow our progress. I think we will see most of you in May for one or two rides in bike month. I will ask Mr. Holden to come up for closing comments. >> my only closing comment is to draw your attention to two weeks ago when you give your staff instructions on how to spend the bond money. A big emphasis was to make the historic district more pedestrian friendly so people who lived near the commercial area can go down there for shopping, entertainment, restaurants. I think this bicycle district program fits into that. The historic district is constrained in terms of parking. Bicyclists who come down for entertainment believe their car at home and provide more parking opportunities. I hope the city will continue to support the tma as you have for all these years. >> the historic folsom association is the association of property owners? >> yes. they are involved in this program. This is a tma sponsor program. >> I have questions. They thought it was a residential association, but it's property owners. >> I don't understand the question. >> I am clarifying that this is a property ownership and not the homeowners who live in their -- there. It is a point to the residents. >> I didn't think we caused any confusion. If we did, my apologies. >> I want to comment on the bicycle racks. The cost of the bicycles today are so expensive. They will walk them up when they go in stores. Inode jerry -- I know jerry is an excellent person. It's my understanding the bicycles will not go out of their eyesight. When you design something, design something that will encourage them to lock it up otherwise they will add a bunch on [Indiscernible] Street. If I pay that much for a bicycle, I'm not going to let it out of my sight. I bicycle could disappear real quick. >> one of the reasons we tie up to fences is because there are no bike racks. We gave you a piece of metal basically. If he puts decorative things on the side, it makes the bike less visible. If it's within a bike rack that has sides on it, is less visibility for people to want to steal. I think that's why you see bikes parked at the fences. I'm glad we are bringing more down there. Is a great idea to bring more and more bike racks. We were going to make sure we connected the link on several bike trails. One of our goals was to have connectivity throughout the city. Rebecca, for your edification, we have 42 miles of bike trails within the city of folsom. The american ravi bike trails are 35 miles. I can almost ride from my house to sunrise almost without touching a street. Connectivity is important for this entire region. I use enough or regulation but I often commuted to downtown sacramento on my office was down there. We have done an amazing job on those trails. Thank you for recognizing folsom as a model. We will continue to work for that. We want people off the roads as much as possible and promoting health. >> robert, our parks and recreation director has been pouring over at the maps on what the trails were like. Vice mayor starsky did mention those numbers. A lot of great pieces coming together. >> additional bike racks are great and they look like they are going to be gorgeous. Where el do you have blacksmiths available? >> we wanted to focus on signage so that people on the trail know how to get to the different amenities. Councilman Sheldon, it is very important to place bike racks to be out of the way but also important for cyclists to see their bicycles. >> something else for consideration, robert, -- we get recommendations and if the city could get the signs together, we could get the eagle scouts to install them. That would be amazing. >> the focus which is great from a recreational perspective , the tourism aspect is fantastic. If these people are willing to spend $10,000 on a bicycle, they have disposable income. I would connected all the way up to lake tahoe if we could. >> if they come in groups, they can book larger tables that -- at karen's baker. >> next is the fy 2016 -- 2017 budget workshop. >> we began our presentation where we began to look at estimated fund balances at the end of this fiscal year. Those we'll be back to you at various times between now and the end of the year as we go to our development process. Tonight's installment will look closer at next year's revenues and expense drivers. I will turn it over to Mr. Frances. >> vice mayor, members of the council, chief financial officer , I am beginning to feel bad with the fact that this is the second presentation in the row -- in a row when the audience left when I was about to get up. I think I will hang in there. We will start off with the budget season. This is a presentation to get your comments and guidance as we begin preparing that budget for fiscal year 2017. Just to start off on the shape of the economic environment. We have had modest slow growth and we're looking at the same going forward. There are sources of anxiety in the economy. Between oil prices and foreign affairs, china losing some of its clout will impact us, perhaps. >> they quick comment. For every content May be a pro or vice versa. For those low gas prices, I paid under two dollars per gallon. It is doing some damage to the national economy. >> it's hard to measure but to our sales tax it has in fact -- it does give you more disposable income. >> stand on something else. >> these eight areas are once we have looked at. They are all positive. Home sales are up. We're not doing extraordinarily well, but they are a. Home prices continue to rise. Consumer confidence is up. Building permits are up. We expect that to be somewhat robust next year as we get some of those south of 50 permits. Employment levels are up. Unemployment is down. Automobile sales are up and consumer spending is up in the city. Our unemployment rate in January January 2016 a was down from where we were last year and down from 2008 when the recession began to hit. We have been doing well in that area. the price of homes has been rising. It continues modestly to up. In fy 2016 it is projected to be $400,000. Before the recession we were at a high of 519,000 and fy 06. We had a decline from 2006 through fy 2011. We have been recovering since that point. >> auto sales have gone up. We had been reading about that in the newspapers. We are experiencing that from 2009 up through our estimate. That is the number of sales at our folsom all -- mall. It's expected to be 15,000, 200 this year. If we look at car sales over time, we are at 60,000 to 50 -- 60,250 pickup if we go back to 2001 and 2002, we were almost at 24,000 cars a year. It is better and getting better, but we are not where we were prior to the recession. >> if you look at the curve, that is showing a slow recovery which is what we are experiencing other than maybe housing prices. Some people say that is healthier. It takes a long time. >> as long as everyone is patient. We have a budget principles. Sustainability of finances is primary in our considerations. We don't want to get ahead of ourselves given that slow growth. We want to be able to sustain what we have in the budget. Transparency to the public is important. Accountability for results and implementing the budget and we want to be responsive to the community in formulating the budget. >> our projection on revenues and property taxes is a 3.8% increase. About 1.6% is the cost of living adjustment. We have 1.3% from the sale of homes. We have a 1% increase due to proposition eight becoming proposition 13. >> will be to the inflation adjustment for the November bills? >> the 1.6 want hit until next November. >> sales tax is 5.7%. A lot of that is based on having new businesses. Existing businesses were much less than that. It's a mixed experience. Some are doing very well. Others are having a mixed experience in terms of sales. When we get onto that the ones that will be here with us -- >> you are projecting those? >> norstrom for a half of your. Vsb for a whole year. Power school is mis and they came in January. We have mentor graphics which is a firm where it was supposed to to the pool and it went to a different community. We have cw -- cdw which is a computer service firm. >> charges for services are up about 4.1%. A lot of those were building permits for south of 50. A lot of that increase is related to south of 50. Transfers in our down a little. All others are roughly 2%, cost- of-living adjustment. We are looking at a 3.2% increase as a final preliminary number. >> on the expense side, budget drivers are wages. We have had an experience of them being almost flat. That will be up about 2.8%. Benefits are relatively flat. We had good experience with most benefits. We had good experience in reading it -- in rating. We used the smoothing for the risk management fund. >>pers is the big driver which is about a 15% increase. $1.35 million pickup that trend will continue for the next several years. >> they are making up for investment losses on our backs? >> pretty much. They are doing that and changing assumptions. They are lowering investment consumption -- assumption. Some amortization costs are over a smaller period of time. Up about 2.9%. We don't have any increase in capital expenses. We brought police and fire up to a level they can maintain in terms of capital. We don't see any increase in that. >>> you are showing that as a 4% increase but that's not percentage of revenue? >> that is 4% increase over last year's expenditures. We don't see any increase in debt service. We are thinking we should focus on air basic budget priorities which are to build the fund balance and reserves; address deferred maintenance; strengthen basic core services; invest in the future; and concentrate budget investments on key result areas. >> we plan on presenting operating and capital budgets on April 12. April 26 will be a public hearing on both budgets. That will be up to you to adopt that night or request further information. Are two main meetings could be possible if you don't adopt on the 26. June 7 is the gann limits. I leave it open for comments and questions. >> you have June 7. That is the first tuesday of June. >> it would be the 14th. >> we talked about deferred maintenance. When we were in the recession we held off on expenditures. How are we doing in terms of it and technology? We have deferred quite a bit of that. How are we on that? Technology advances were quite extensive through the recession. We're getting incredible efficiency gains. >> thank you for the question Mr. Vice mayor. You did see significant it expenditures. That money reserved in this year's budget has been invested. The work is being done. We are two weeks out from introducing our comprehensive website. Staff is working on that. We're also working hard on bringing our new improved parks and recreation management and online software. Their financial and administration software packages are being brought online in various stages over the course of this year. Some are online out pick up earlier in the year -- we finished upgrading air police department computer aided dispatch. We have serious other it initiatives across the organization including updating a pc here or there. Those efforts are well underway. Will currently examining department requests which does include minor it improvements. >> I think you will gain real efficiencies. >> in the private sector, many of us stopped investing in it. The software advances have been pretty incredible. >> these represent software and hardware upgrades. We're moving away from legacy systems. >> with some of the financial software we are implementing, it's not just a matter of implementing software. In each section, we're looking at the workflow and how those accounts payable -- >> steps taken. >> we're making them more efficient. >> I like that you are conservative. Several articles in the wall street journal are saying that certain states, minnesota, missouri are experiencing actual recessions. I want us to be cautious. I don't believe it is in california. I would say the word I used to describe the economy is going to be squirrely. I want to make sure we are cautious. These are really uncharted waters. We haven't seen such a strange behavior of markets. Be cautious and conservative. I personally would not agree to significant major expenditures. I like the percentages you are showing. It shows continued growth. As we saw in the last 13 years, that can change overnight. >> thank you. To give you a little bit of confidence, our budget strategy over the last few years and I think you see it reflected in this presentation -- therefore lakes to the stool. We say for a rainy day. We're working on deferred maintenance, it, park maintenance, roadways. Trying to get caught up so the infrastructure doesn't continued to deteriorate pickup it includes as a service organization making sure labor force is structure properly and we have the right people doing the right thing so that we are focusing on core services. File, being careful with taking on additional debt and making sure we have a pay-as-you-go mindset. I think you see that reflected in these numbers. Year in and year out those of the four things we look for while we talk at the city's machinery on the things the city is interested in. >> my comments weren't intended to be critical. You are pretty conservative in your approach. I think it is evidenced that you look at reserves which are continuing to grow. I think you have done a good, good job with the pickup it's a strange, strange world out there. We've got to be aware. I expect you guys to do what you've done since we bottomed out in that recession which is to be misplaced back. >> any other questions for jim ? >> over the years the council has been here and at city manager and staff -- there's a comfortable alignment with the philosophy as far as the budget stuff is. For people looking at this, it seems to go quick and it's relatively dry. It's a good thing. When we've gone through this enough, we understand the opposite direction. Very comfortable with the past two or three years with cautious modifications as the revenues improve without spending all of the improved revenue. My sincere appreciation to maintaining that rigid philosophy. I have all the confidence we will see something just like last year. You will present the budget. We will see little things that will go over, but for me, etc. But -- it's a very comfortable process. >> I appreciate everything jeff and andy have said. I appreciate continuing down a path of being optimistically conservative. I think we need to do that pickup we don't know what would happen with the stock market. That affects so many things. Let's keep it down the road. I always like it when you tell us it's better than we expected it to be pickup >> I don't think I had a comment on the budget the last few years because you have done everything we needed. >> [Indiscernible-low volume] >> we will move on to item number 6. I have one request to speak. Madalyn mosely? >> you are doing a great job. We had a death. David [Name indiscernible] Passed away. It was standing room only at the community center. It was a great tribute to him and his family. They have been here forever. You are doing a good job. >> that was the biggest crowd I have ever seen in the building. >> don't say that in front of the fire chief. >> too late now. It was standing room only. >> my condolences to the family. I was attending another funeral in the community. >> david is the son and grandson of past council members of the city of folsom. His family is very connected over many years to this community. Thank you for sharing that. >> they also had businesses in folsom. >> in fact, I heard that the celebration was quite raucous at the cigar store. >> lyndsay kept saying not to tell stories of his son. >> thank you, madalyn. >> we have another speaker request. Michael harris? >> we have not seen you in a while. >> I am here to talk about -- before I do that. The building on the warriors, joe moore passed away last year. He had some big shoes to fill. This is black history month. We will have a party saturday that the potomac -- natoma inn. Why do we keep celebrating work history month? It's not in the history books or the first documentation of a lot of places, contributions of people of african descent. A friend and colleague [Name indiscernible] Were overwhelmed with the support and source documentation to honor william alexanderwho had a rash here back in 1945, 1946. The idea is to have a party and talk about the exhibit at the state capital that has folsom in the black history exhibit. It is called hollow ground. It talks about macro -- negro bar and negro hill. There is an effort for the first time in the history of california to document contributions of people of african descent in california. I am pretty sure the start of it will be folsom. Thank you. >> michael, you are right. The history of african-americans in this country is really ignored, to a large degree. I am reading a book on the revolutionary war pickup they estimated that 20% of the forces that fought in the revolutionary war were black americans. Not all of them freemen, but 20% is a huge number. You said it's not will noted and I think you are right. >> I go toe to toe with the President Of the national [ Indiscernible] Team. They have a lot of information incorrect. the idea that a lot of people died for people to be set free and the colored soldiers a lot of people don't talk about. One of these days I will do an outline of a book and that will be great. >> send us emails about your planned celebrations. >> moving on to consent calendar. >> I want to pull c, d and e for comment. >> I want to comment on one of the minutes. The second one. >> I have a comment on liturgy -- c pickup >>: favorite? >>aye. >> I want to adding comments on the allocation of bond money. It was not indicated that we discussed and agreed we will come back with streets, sidewalks. It was not in the minutes. It should be in there. >> I will have crystal look at the video. If we need to modify the minutes, can we bring them in the next meeting? >> short. >> item c, resolution execution city manager amendment to program supplement agreement with caltrans, low bidder, bugler. >> we can pull resolution 9721 and resolution 9722. I am assuming this will be yours, data? >> yes. >> dave nugent will be working on it? >> yes. >> are we doing something about coding -- coating the concrete for graffiti removal? >> I will look into that. >> pleased to pick up -- please do. I will say you need to put it coding -- coating on the concrete. We also need to do that at the johnny cash portion -- crossing. There is a lot of staining. If we don't do that quickly, we won't be able to get it out. >> this is rehab work on rainbow bridge. To we anticipate closures? >> these things get to be so much fun. We're dealing with bats and birds and seasonal thanks we cannot touch. We are juggling that with amgen. If we have to do remedial work to smooth out the joints, that will be done. That will not involve closures. The greater amount of work we will do eventually -- we're mindful. >> we need to advise the public that there will be closures. Please check the city's website and newsletter. Sometime this summer you are going to experience delays. That would be a good day to venture across the inappropriately named bridge. >> we will also have signs out so that people know well in advance. >> good comment. We have a motion. I will second it. I will have you call the roll. >>[Roll call] >> do you mind if we move the public hearing? >> that item will be continued to March 8. >>[Roll call] >> old business, resolution 9725 approving negative declaration monitoring reporting program and revised master development program for econome family park. >> the last time the council saw this item it was August 2015 pickup you approved the preliminary concept master plan for the econome family park. This resolution number 9725 includes three principal actions. First, adoption of mitigated negative declaration. Since August, we have been completing the environmental analysis and notifying the public. That happened before the holidays. We ran an extended comment period of 44 days. It closed recently. First action proposed is the adoption of the mmd. Second adoption of mitigating monitoring program and adoption of a slightly revised econome family park master plan. Just so you are assured our noticing process and opportunity for the public to comment is thorough, we went well beyond the 300 foot legal notice requirement. We sent direct mail to over 700 homes around the econome family park. We received three comment letters that one from the water control board which is standard practice. That relates to storm water pollution intervention. We had two comment letters from residents. Based upon those comments to this plan, we have done a few minor refinements for your consideration and approval tonight. While it does not look different, I will point those out. Relative to [Indiscernible] Wrote -- road, parkway drive. We have the trails or meadows neighborhood and open space power line cord or to the south. We had a one way ingress only exit off of [Indiscernible] Road. We did not do the analysis. We did preliminary work. Sightlineed, widened road from here to corner and limited expectations of use letters to the conclusion that it is not needed and it is an expense that won't pay the dividends we expected. Coupled with that is even though we decided so that it would be used as accident from that road, we know in a pinch people come out there and try to make the right turn, get in the left lane to do a u-turn at parkway drive. For those reasons we decided it wasn't worth it. We closed it off and completed the parking area. It will enforce the traffic to parkway drive. That was considered by the transportation subconsultants. It is a de minimis impact to the operations of the intersection. >> is there a light at parkway and blue ravine? >> yes. It will bring everyone into this parking lot which results in an increase in parking. Fold turning movement is allowed out of the parking lot. There is no reason and less you live inside the parkway, there is no reason to drive the full length of the parkway to get out at another amgen -- blue ravine exit. On the parking count, there was mentioned by the resident comment letters about parking concerns. The park plan meet folsom municipal code requirements for parking lots. Code states any park 10 acres or larger shall have 5% designated for parking. It's a random standard. This is a little over an acre of parking pickup that is closer to 10%. Internatl transportation engineers do parking calculation on a facility program level which adds up to 131 spaces. We have 124. Technically we are short. In their manual, they acknowledge the manual does not account for bike trail access which we have and pedestrian access as well as a bus stop. We feel confident we are well within parking requirement standards. Parking on parkway drive is legal and accomplished today. >> my concern was parking inside that neighborhood. Are we going to prohibit parking inside the neighborhood? >> parking is already allowed on parkway drive in the neighborhood. There is always the rear occasion with it could be -- where there could be a pulse of parking need. Analysis was done. We have the ability to do under 10, soccer. We expect to program only two field at one time. That is in the cities -- city's control. >> if it becomes problematic, we can do with it later. There was no parking tech- support residential. >> refinement was minor. We refined the budget courts, playground. We have a guardrail from here down to protect park and recreational uses. The large field is a synthetic turf field. The natural grass is the light green. This park design with the synthetic turf field and natural grass and -- this is envisioned to be tree plantings. With this entire design package we're looking at a park about 12 acres using less water than other parks because of how we have designed it. It represents a state-of-the- art both in recreational facilities and landscape. >> another comment was regarding lighting. The full- size soccer field is lit with four, 70 for post. They have size soccer turf is lit with four 460 for paul's. -- four, 60 foot poles. This is what the light level distribution looks out -- like. The dark blue is.01 foot candle . At the property line, it is zero. The medium green is.25 candle. The 15 foot candle in here is focused on the sport field. There waa comment on the tennis court lighting. The polls -- poles are 40 feet. >> didn't you say there was a one, 60 and three, 40. >> those are 40 for the tennis court pickup the light from the tennis court doesn't go anywhere. It is overshadowed by the turf fields. >> weber, let me ask you. Is there a reason why they have to be 40 feet on the tennis courts? We will have 12 poles sticking up? Is there a reason you can't make them shorter on a tennis court? They are in my neighborhood. >> it is possible. Here are the engineering stats. At 40 feet, we have zero we have 0 footcandles horizontal. 0 footcandles vertical. If you have a sense the lights would hit the vertical fence. We have 0 footcandles candela which is claire -- glare. The only player -- glare you would get would be from the pole itself pick up while we're getting three poles we're not getting light. >> is there a reason why you can't bring them down? >> the lighting performance on the court will degrade. You go from four polls -- poles. The cost goes up and lighting performance goes down. These are all led. >> will these be aluminum poles? >> likely galvanized steel. Staff is not insensitive to the addition of poles. Already on the site are seven, 31 foot streetlight poles pickup there are two other 69 there are two other 60 9k fee poles. I think that brings us to the end. There May be residence here who would like to talk about this to there are a couple of corrections. One, the grass soccer field -- there was an erroneous statement. 8:00 last game, a: 05 -- 8:05 pm, leaves the park. >> you are saying there is no light impact? >> less than significant level . >> the timing of the use and off at 8:00 -- is that measurable? I was supposed to the lighting in the second field. Data analysis include any of that? >> I think timing was a good medication for residents. I was wondering if it had an impact on the actual negative [ Indiscernible]. >> lights are allowed to be on until 11:00. It is considered to be medication by voluntarily saying 8:00. It's a significant positive attribute for the field uses. In the fall, it will be soccer. 8:00 will have a positive benefit to soccer organizations to play until that time because it's getting dark at 6 pm. >> the timing of the lighting was discussed and corrected as a response to comments. >> I know details come later. Soccer and lacrosse have different lines. >> thank you for bringing that up, Councilman Sheldon. In yellow there are two fields. Blue is for lacrosse. It all still fits within the same dimension. >> at the meeting, we looked at the lacrosse program. They came up to 250. I think they need.
