And two three public for which it stands.

One nation, I would indivisible justice through.

And do we have any agenda updates this evening?

No updates, thank you.

Thank you.

That takes us to business from the floor.

This is the time in the meeting where anyone from the public can address the city council on unagendized items.

We've got a couple of requests to speak tonight, but if you are here to speak and you didn't get a chance to fill out a blue card, uh you can grab one in the back and just bring it right here to the side of the dais.

Uh with that, we'll go ahead and call up our first speaker.

Okay, the first speaker.

My two late.

There's a blue form right over there on that table there.

Okay, your first speaker will be Robert Dresser.

You could go ahead and approach the podium.

I think you've got to drive the spade or inaccessible, accessible handy gap.

It was a hard act to follow.

Um thanks for the opportunity to speak.

Um my name's Robert Dresser, I've been a resident of Folsom around 12 years.

Um I used to be in a past life an attorney with the state of California.

I was a general counselor for the labor agency and chair of the unemployment insurance appeals board.

And in those capacities, I had a little experience in settling lawsuits filed against the various departments.

And um I was here before and respectfully requested the amount of money spent in litigating uh the district election by district case.

And I said at the time, I didn't know, and I still don't know, that I wouldn't be surprised if the million dollars have been spent since the lawsuit was filed until now.

There's more litigation uh pending, of course.

And it just seemed to me since the district some years ago went ahead and adopted by district elections, but have not paid the attorney who brought the lawsuit on behalf of a number of people in Folsom a penny in attorney fees, which I think is for my experience is really not quite appropriate.

That uh I would encourage the city of Folsom to and respectfully encourage, I know it's difficult, to engage in meaningful um settlement discussions and to try to come to some uh reasonable accommodation.

And uh I know when you're sued it's it's hard, but uh I'm hoping that uh in order to stop uh the uh accrual of additional attorney fees that some kind of settlement uh can be uh achieved.

And I respectfully say thank you very much.

Thank you.

Okay, our next speaker, um Josh White.

You could go ahead and approach the podium.

And Josh, I know you turned in two cards, but we just give each speaker three minutes.

Oh, okay.

So you'll have to cover both those topics.

Try to put some pressure on me, Mayor.

Um thank you so much for having me.

Okay, I see the timer.

Just wanted to say I was sorry, Mayor.

Last time I was here, I was a little flustered.

I had a bunch of notes.

I think it's better if I just speak from the heart.

I accidentally interrupted you when you asked how my day was doing.

So two weeks later, I was a little flustered.

That's how I was doing today.

I'm doing a lot better.

Um, I won't say much on the uh pickleball uh basketball coexistence idea that I have, but but I would love it if you guys would consider that.

I had kind of a funny speech with all P words, but I'm just gonna speak from the heart.

Um I was able to get a um blueprint from the um from a public's request, uh Freedom of Information Act uh request, and I was able to modify a blueprint which shows a beautiful way that pickleball and basketball could coexist at Limby Park.
