The Folsom City Council will tackle a wide-ranging agenda Tuesday night, with major items centered on water infrastructure investments, formation of a new maintenance assessment district, historic district improvements and regional policy discussions. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. at Folsom City Hall and is open to the public, with residents also able to watch online.
Historic preservation and planning matters are among the items slated for council action. Councilmembers will formalize the appointment of a Planning Commissioner to also serve on the Historic District Commission, strengthening coordination between development planning and preservation oversight in Folsom’s historic areas.
The council will also consider final approval of the Historic District Commission’s recommendation for the design review of The Square, also known as the Pioneer Village Rehabilitation Project, at 115 Wool Street. The project returns to the council with a recommendation for approval and a determination that it qualifies for an exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act, allowing rehabilitation work to move forward under established historic guidelines while preserving the character of the area.
Several agenda items address how the city manages and funds its operations. One action would authorize Folsom’s participation in the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act, a state program that provides flexibility for certain public works projects by adjusting bidding and contracting thresholds. Another item involves an amendment to an existing engineering management services contract, supporting continued oversight of infrastructure and capital improvement projects throughout the city.
Public safety funding also appears on the agenda through a series of grant-related actions. Councilmembers are scheduled to authorize applications and accept funding connected to traffic safety and impaired driving enforcement programs, along with acceptance of Citizen’s Option for Public Safety funds. While largely administrative in nature, the items reflect ongoing efforts to supplement local resources with state and federal funding.
A substantial portion of the meeting returns to long-term infrastructure investment. Under old business, the council will review multiple resolutions tied to the Tower Tank Rehabilitation Project, a key component of Folsom’s water system. The proposed actions address adjustments to contingency funding and amendments to construction and engineering contracts as the project continues. Decisions made Tuesday night will help guide how remaining phases are funded and completed.
The council will also continue steps toward establishing the Natoma Station Maintenance Assessment District No. 2025-2. Tuesday’s action includes consideration of a preliminary engineer’s report outlining proposed maintenance responsibilities within the district and associated costs. The item also includes a declaration of intent to levy assessments and direction to proceed with required public noticing and hearings, moving the district formation process forward.
Later in the meeting, councilmembers will shift to broader policy discussions. One agenda item provides an update on homelessness governance and coordination with Sacramento County, with city staff seeking council direction on Folsom’s role in regional strategies related to services, governance structures and collaboration. No immediate vote is expected, but the discussion is intended to inform future policy decisions.
The council will also receive a legislative update on Senate Bill 802, commonly referred to as the Ashby bill. Staff will outline how the proposed legislation could affect local governments, particularly in land use and planning matters, and invite council input on potential policy positions or advocacy.
Tuesday’s meeting will be held in the City Council Chambers at Folsom City Hall, 50 Natoma Street, and will also be streamed live online, with an archive available afterward.
