Summary of Proceedings

Folsom City Council Regular Meeting – September 28, 2021

The Folsom City Council met on Tuesday, September 28, 2021, at 6:30 PM at City Hall. The meeting began with a retirement recognition for Public Works Director Dave Nugent, followed by public comments from youth participants in the APAPA internship program. The council then addressed several routine consent items, two public hearings for affordable housing bond issuances, and a lengthy discussion and approval of a temporary residential permit parking pilot program in the Historic District. All votes were unanimous.

Consent Calendar

  • The consent calendar included items 2 through 10 (minutes, ordinance, resolutions for radio encryption, police vehicle purchases, joint facilities agreement, water system rehabilitation, subdivision map, traffic enforcement grant, and additional police vehicles). Items 5 and 10 (police vehicle purchases) were pulled by Councilmember Howell for clarification on mixing Ford and Chevrolet vehicles due to availability. After explanation, the full consent calendar passed unanimously (5-0).

Public Comments & Testimony

  • Business from the Floor: Vinod Balakrishna, president of the Folsom chapter of APAPA, described the nonprofit's mission and the city's summer internship program. Three youth interns (Takara Suzuki, another student, and Sophia Jin) presented on their projects: tree pruning, zoo enrichment toys, and interpretive trail signs. They expressed gratitude to the city, staff (Tim O'Shea, YK Chalamcherla, Carol), and parents for providing meaningful community service opportunities.
  • Public Hearing 13 – Parking Pilot: Several residents and stakeholders spoke:
    • Karen Holmes (Historic District resident) urged approval, noting the working group’s unity and support from residents.
    • Jerry Burno (Historic District stakeholder) echoed support and mentioned a potential shuttle pilot program patterned after RideCircuit.com.
    • Bob Holderness (Historic District resident) endorsed the pilot, highlighting unused light rail parking spaces and the need for better wayfinding.
    • Two written comments were read: Bob Delp (Mormon Street) supported the pilot but suggested minimal signage, data-driven evaluation, and police enforcement; Cindy Ferris (Figueroa Street) supported the pilot as a long-overdue solution.

Discussion Items

  • Proclamation of National Arts and Humanities Month (October 2021): Maribel Wyatt (Art and Culture Commission Chair) and Lucinda Winward presented the proclamation, which was accepted unanimously.
  • Item 11 – Mangini Place Apartments Bond Issuance (TEFRA Hearing): The council approved Resolution 10708, authorizing up to $34 million in multifamily housing revenue bonds for the 152-unit 100% affordable development at Savannah Parkway and Placerville Road. No public comments; passed 5-0.
  • Item 12 – Sage at Folsom Bond Issuance (TEFRA Hearing): The council approved Resolution 10709, authorizing up to $20 million in revenue bonds for the 111-unit senior affordable project (address changed from 1689 Scholarway to 75 Scholarway, unit count from 110 to 111). No public comments; passed 5-0.
  • Item 13 – Temporary Residential Permit Parking Pilot Program: Councilmembers debated the details, including permit limits (4 per parcel), guest passes (reduced from 5 temporary 72-hour passes to just 2-4 rearview mirror hangers for occasional use), enforcement (challenge of 6 PM–2 AM Friday/Saturday window, likely handled by police), signage (minimal but reflective, with additional wayfinding signs), and the need for baseline parking counts before implementation. The pilot will run six months (November 2021–April 2022). Resolution 10707 was adopted 5-0.
  • Item 14 – Affordable Housing Loan for Sage at Folsom: The council approved Resolution 10712, rescinding a prior resolution and authorizing a $2.75 million loan from the city’s Housing Fund (at 3% interest, deferred) for the 111-unit senior project. Staff noted this loan was lower than initially proposed due to a net cost savings provision. Passed 5-0.

Key Outcomes

  • Consent Calendar (Items 2-10): Approved 5-0.
  • Proclamation: Approved unanimously.
  • Resolution 10708 (Mangini bonds): Approved 5-0.
  • Resolution 10709 (Sage bonds): Approved 5-0.
  • Resolution 10707 (Parking pilot): Approved 5-0. Staff directed to: require proof of vehicle registration for permanent permits; limit temporary guest passes to 2-4 hangers per residence; conduct baseline parking counts; pursue increased parking fines to $75; coordinate with police for enforcement; and report back after the six-month pilot.
  • Resolution 10712 (Sage loan): Approved 5-0. Staff to include a summary of all housing fund loans and balances in future reports.
  • City Manager Report: Noted the Mayor’s Cup golf tournament, appointment of Marcus Yasutake as acting Public Works Director, Folsom Veterans Day Parade (Nov 11), and the district elections public hearing on Oct 12.
  • Council Comments: Members welcomed new police officers, reminded of upcoming community events, and discussed water resources research and regional transit issues.
