[0:47] >> thank you, that takes us to

[0:48] business on the floor, the time

[0:50] of the meeting that anyone from

[0:52] the public can address the city

[0:55] council on unagendized items, we

[0:56] have a couple requested to

[0:58] speak, if you are here to speak

[1:01] and didn't fill out a blue card,

[1:03] grab one in the back and bring

[1:07] to the side of dais.

[1:09] With that call the first

[1:09] speaker.

[1:13] >> the first speaker --

[1:15] >> there is a blue form there on

[1:17] the table.

[1:19] >> first speaker will be robert

[1:19] dresser, go ahead and approach

[1:30] the podium.

[1:33] >> that's a hard act to follow.

[1:36] Thanks for the opportunity to

[1:36] speak.

[1:39] My name is robert dresser, have

[1:42] been a resident of folsom around

[1:43] 12 years.

[1:46] I used to be in a past life an

[1:49] attorney with the state of

[1:49] california.

[1:51] General counsel for the labor

[1:53] agency and shared unemployment

[1:53] appeals work.

[1:57] And in those capacities I had

[2:01] experience settling lawsuits.

[2:04] And I was here before and

[2:06] respectfully requested the

[2:10] amount of money spent in

[2:11] litigating the district election

[2:12] by district case.

[2:14] And I said at the time I didn't

[2:17] know and I still don't know.

[2:21] That I wouldn't be surprised if

[2:23] the $1 million spent since it

[2:24] was filed until now.

[2:26] And more litigation pending of

[2:27] course.

[2:33] And it just seemed to me since

[2:34] the district some years ago went

[2:37] ahead and adopted by district

[2:39] elections and have not paid the

[2:43] attorney who brought the lawsuit

[2:45] on behalf of people that brought

[2:49] the lawsuit a penny in attorney

[2:51] fees in my experience is not

[2:51] appropriate.

[2:54] I encourage the city of folsom,

[2:57] and respectfully encourage, I

[3:00] know it's difficult to engage in

[3:02] meaningful settlement

[3:04] discussions and try to come to

[3:05] some reasonable accommodation.

[3:08] I know when you are sued, it's

[3:09] hard.

[3:14] I'm hoping that in order to stop

[3:16] the accrual of the additional

[3:18] attorney fees that some kind of

[3:19] settlement can be achieved.

[3:21] And I respectfully say thank you

[3:23] very much.

[3:24] >> thank you.

[3:27] >> okay, next speaker josh

[3:27] white.

[3:31] Go ahead and approach the

[3:32] podium.

[3:35] >> and josh, I know that you

[3:37] turned in two cards but give

[3:38] each speakers three minutes.

[3:40] >> okay, try to put pressure on

[3:41] me there.

[3:42] Thank you so much for having me,

[3:44] okay I see the timer.

[3:47] Wanted to say sorry mayor, last

[3:49] time I was here I was flustered

[3:52] and had a bunch of notes and I

[3:55] think better to speak from the

[3:56] heart.

[3:57] I accidentally interrupted when

[3:59] asked how the day was and

[4:01] flustered and today better.

[4:06] I won't say much about the

[4:07] pickleball/basketball

[4:08] coexistence that I had, love

[4:10] that if you consider that.

[4:14] I had a funny speech with all

[4:17] "p" words but speak from the

[4:19] heart.

[4:24] Able to get a blueprint from

[4:25] public request freedom of

[4:27] information ask request and

[4:30] modify a blueprint that shows

[4:31] how pickleball and basketball

[4:38] can co-exist at limby park.

[4:39] I am super appreciative of the

[4:42] five of you being able to take a

[4:45] look at that when park's

[4:46] planning has done their thing.

[4:47] Thank you so much.

[4:47] >> thank you josh.

[4:50] >> and do I need to turn around

[4:52] or anything for next one?

[4:55] >> no.

[4:55] Perfect.

[4:58] >> I am still terry josh white

[5:06] and send an idea about the habad

[5:07] jewish community center that

[5:10] broke ground in folsom, I don't

[5:12] know what the time to proclaim a

[5:14] jewish day in the city.

[5:17] I think in the days that we live

[5:21] in a lot of crazy sentiment

[5:22] online with extremism on both

[5:22] sides.

[5:26] I think it would be a beautiful

[5:28] thing if the city of folsom

[5:30] claim peace and love for rabbi

[5:31] who helped me.

[5:35] I had a situation where I had an

[5:37] apartment manager demanding that

[5:40] I neuter my dogs and in jewish

[5:44] law it's forbidden to mutilate

[5:45] any animal.

[5:48] And I agree with that and don't

[5:49] believe in mutilate

[5:52] ing animals or

[5:55] people, and would be grateful to

[5:56] proclaim a jewish day and make

[6:00] our jewish brothers and sisters

[6:02] at the center feel protected

[6:03] here in the city of folsom.

[6:06] GOD bless you and thank you.

[6:06] >> thank you.

[6:08] >> all right, next up I can't

[6:12] read your handwriting.

[6:19] Looks like starts with a "c."

[6:23] that at all.

[7:05] I have three minutes?

[7:06] >> yes, sir.

[7:10] >> everybody told me that I was

[7:12] running after a low fruit game.

[7:15] That means I was picking the

[7:17] easiest fruit.

[7:18] In this election.

[7:20] The fruit didn't matter to me,

[7:22] what matters to me are all of

[7:24] these kids right here.

[15:56] agreement with west yost &

[16:01] associates for 402,886 from the

[16:02] water operating fund and

[16:04] construction management and

[16:06] inspection services and

[16:06] appropriation of funds.

[16:09] >> please start the timer.

[16:12] >> mayor, and members of the

[16:13] council, we recommend approving

[16:17] the item, thank you.

[16:19] Somehow some way I knew I would

[16:22] clear the room, typically

[16:23] happens when I have something on

[16:24] the agenda.

[16:26] >> normally later in your

[16:26] presentation though.

[16:30] >> yeah, I will make it quick

[16:32] and ensure it's only maybe 10

[16:32] minutes.

[16:33] To give you a brief background

[16:37] these are the locations of the

[16:42] project, it was all combined

[16:45] under the tower tank project and

[16:47] doing at the facilities into

[16:51] major work foothills tank 2 and

[16:53] foothills tank 1.

[16:54] And scope of work for west yost

[16:58] and associates is taking work

[17:03] through APRIL, 2027, additional

[17:06] meetings and overviews and

[17:08] change orders that previously

[17:09] approved for construction.

[17:11] And requires additional

[17:13] inspections for welding and

[17:16] coding and constructional repair

[17:19] that is occur and will occur at

[17:19] all tank sites.

[17:23] And last item preparation of a

[17:24] tank report that we are required

[17:26] to submit to the state of

[17:26] california.

[17:30] When they came out and did

[17:31] inspections a couple of years

[17:32] ago and identified drainage that

[17:34] we have done, draining the tank,

[17:35] not around the site.

[17:40] We have made those improvements

[17:42] have to submit a final report to

[17:47] show that we completed what they

[17:48] required of us.

[17:54] And what encountered sufficient

[17:56] corrosion and sufficient loss

[17:59] and on the side and outside of

[18:02] the tank, anywhere you can find

[18:03] coding failure we found it.

[18:06] And pitting and deterioration of

[18:10] the metal of itself, and

[18:12] adequate structure rating and

[18:15] place that is should have more

[18:18] instructional metal there was

[18:19] not included.

[18:21] And sufficient application for

[18:24] coating and areas that the

[18:25] coating come off by hand that

[18:29] had the primer coat and the two

[18:29] paint coats.

[18:30] You could have in hand.

[18:33] and a lot of issues there and a

[18:36] point of reference, we were here

[18:40] in front of council on FEBRUARY,

[18:44] 2026 and you approved

[18:47] construction side of the project

[18:48] and for the construction

[18:49] management and services.

[18:51] In terms of tank inspection,

[18:53] pictures of what was encountered

[18:55] during the inspections when the

[18:56] tanks were full.

[18:59] You can see some corrosion that

[19:02] has been built up in some rafter

[19:05] areas and pictures that show

[19:10] something not as good-looking as

[19:11] this these are that.

[19:13] Significant failure in the

[19:16] rafters and metal failure here

[19:18] and coating in these areas here.

[19:22] And that's I-beam that is

[19:23] deteriorating.

[19:25] The inspector pick it off by

[19:27] hand, that is not good for

[19:30] supporting the roof of a tank.

[19:32] Metal that was taken out during

[19:33] the process.

[19:35] And again you can see other

[19:37] areas advanced corrosion in

[19:38] these locations.

[19:41] This is foothills #2, and just

[19:43] more of the same.

[19:46] You can see delaminateing and

[19:49] see all the corrosion occurring

[19:51] along the I-beam.

[19:54] And this is one isolated

[19:55] location and several throughout

[19:56] foothills 2.

[19:58] When we were going through the

[20:01] work we realized weren't able to

[20:02] do foothills number 1.

[20:04] We had at the time in FEBRUARY,

[20:07] assumed that foothills number 1

[20:10] being five years older than

[20:11] foothills 2.

[20:13] And likely worse and accounted

[20:14] for that in the change order and

[20:16] accounted for in the work that

[20:18] will be provided by west yost

[20:20] and associates.

[20:22] More pictures again of the

[20:25] issues that we encountered.

[20:27] You can see here this -- I mean

[20:30] this is the edge of metal

[20:31] deteriorated.

[20:32] The whole section of the primer

[20:34] and coating that is off in

[20:37] pieces that are 18 inches long.

[20:39] Maybe six inches wide and that's

[20:41] not a good thing.

[20:43] And then what we recently found

[20:45] deterioration and everything

[20:47] along the floor of the tank.

[20:49] The bottom of the tank at

[20:52] foothills 2 looks like this and

[20:54] we anticipate foothills 1 will

[20:56] have similar coating issues

[20:57] along the bottom.

[21:00] So that's going to require a

[21:02] full sand blasting of entire

[21:04] bottom, surface preparation and

[21:05] another recoat.

[21:08] So these are the anticipated

[21:11] needs at foothills 1, I won't

[21:13] read it all.

[21:18] A lot what we anticipate as

[21:21] deteriorated metal or metal soon

[21:24] to fail and replace while in

[21:25] there.

[21:29] And last item we did add figured

[21:33] that the flooring of foothills 1

[21:37] is similar to foothills 2 and

[21:38] added to the change order

[21:40] previously approved and what we

[21:41] are here for tonight.

[21:42] With that I will take any

[21:43] questions on this project?

[21:45] >> questions for staff?

[21:47] >> I have a question.

[21:51] I just wonder how this

[21:54] deterioration in the tanks that

[21:55] I assume delivers water to

[21:56] various areas of city.

[21:59] How does that impact the water

[22:00] quality?

[22:04] >> typically at least what we

[22:07] have seen and not seen, none of

[22:13] this leading to the system that

[22:15] leaves the tank and out of the

[22:15] system.

[22:19] We find remnants and as part of

[22:21] annual inspections do annual

[22:23] cleanings as well.

[22:27] And when we do that find in the

[22:29] bottom of the tank and not

[22:31] outlet of the tank to the

[22:31] distribution system.

[22:33] >> is there filtering that takes

[22:36] place between the tanks and

[22:37] water delivery system?

[22:40] >> there is not any filters out

[22:41] in the system.

[22:41] >> thank you.

[22:43] >> you are welcome.

[22:44] >> any other questions for

[22:44] staff?

[22:47] All right, thanks marcus.

[22:48] >> thank you.

[22:49] >> if you want to comment on

[22:52] this item, we will have public

[22:53] comment.

[22:53] Yeah.

[22:55] We already have your name, you

[22:56] don't need to fill out another

[22:59] card.

[23:01] So no other questions from

[23:01] staff?

[23:03] We can move to public comment.

[23:07] If you want to come on up.

[23:11] [Inaudible]

[23:15] I'm a builder and I work with

[23:18] microsoft northern american cast

[23:20] in place concrete structure,

[23:23] seven stories down to protect

[23:27] their servers to working on the

[23:28] golden gate bridge.

[23:30] Are these structures holding

[23:32] drinking water for the public to

[23:32] drink.

[23:35] >> we can ask why you questions,

[23:36] and you have three minutes for

[23:37] public comment.

[23:40] >> I want to know, are these

[23:43] drinking water tanks?

[23:46] And they expect them not to

[23:49] leave any life-long chemical

[23:50] reactions, or chemicals in the

[23:53] water that people would be

[23:54] consuming?

[23:56] Why so much going back using

[24:00] iron and why not use a more

[24:02] advanced technology that will

[24:05] prevent any rusting from

[24:05] anything.

[24:06] I propose a construction

[24:09] material change instead of using

[24:12] the same old same old 19th

[24:15] century and might as put a

[24:19] locomotive with a tank of water.

[24:20] My comments?

[24:20] >> thank you.

[24:22] >> to answer the first question,

[24:25] yes this is all drinking water

[24:26] in the city system.

[24:28] And all of the materials used

[24:30] are all approved by the state of

[24:32] california for drinking water

[24:32] purposes.

[24:36] Meeting all the requirements as

[24:36] such.

[24:38] In terms of the material type

[24:40] used, I can't speak for what was

[24:44] done and built before I got

[24:44] here.

[24:47] So you are aware we are

[24:49] considering in the plan area

[24:51] south of highway 50 that's the

[24:54] newest area where we are

[24:54] physically building more storage

[24:57] above ground.

[25:00] That we will have three concrete

[25:01] tanks in the folsom plan area.

[25:04] There is one that is currently a

[25:05] steel water tank now.

[25:07] And looking at three others that

[25:12] will be built out of concrete.

[25:15] >> thank you.

[25:19] Questions?

[25:21] Comments?

[25:25] I will entertain a motion.

[25:28] >> I'll move approval of

[25:57] sacramento county.

[25:58] They are doing the work in

[26:00] partnership with our public

[26:01] works department.

[26:04] We appreciate our public works

[26:06] director and team doing all they

[26:07] are doing.

[26:09] We recognize that this is a

[26:10] challenge for the community.

[26:11] And we're working to get it done

[26:14] as soon as we can.

[26:17] Just so you know that the road

[26:20] is closed between U.S. Highway

[26:22] 50 and white rock road from 7

[26:34] SEPTEMBER 1 and MAY have

[26:36] Stay tuned for that.

[26:43] fast as we can to get that done.

[26:49] We also want to remind folks

[26:55] improvements are underway for

[26:59] livermore community park and to

[27:01] add access and complete section

[27:02] of class 1 trail.

[27:04] I know the neighborhood has

[27:05] experienced a lot of traffic

[27:07] impacts and parking for the

[27:08] sports fields that are there.

[27:12] This is a great addition to that

[27:13] facility.

[27:16] We also want to recognize and

[27:19] announce that detective austin

[27:20] alvarez with the folsom police

[27:24] department inducted into the

[27:26] congressional police honor roll.

[27:31] This was related to his work on

[27:32] internet crimes against children

[27:33] task force.

[27:36] His efforts have contributed to

[27:38] the identification and arrest

[27:43] and prosecution of offenders

[27:46] protecting vulnerable victims

[27:47] from further how many.

[27:49] Recognized on the floor of house

[27:50] of representatives and grateful

[27:50] for his service.

[27:52] And I want to thank all of those

[27:55] who helped in the first steps

[27:56] for the food drive that's coming

[28:00] up related to community service

[28:01] day.

[28:07] Over two day period, over 36,000

[28:10] bags assembled for the food

[28:10] drive.

[28:13] And many thanks to the jesus

[28:18] christ of latter day saints and

[28:22] muslim center and bags filled

[28:25] and look on the look out to be

[28:29] filled with nonperishable food

[28:33] and put out by SEPTEMBER 18.

[28:35] That concludes my report.

[28:38] >> excellent, don't take

[28:39] questions.

[28:40] Councilmember comments.

[28:43] Councilmember kozlowski.

[28:46] >> two quick things and the

[28:48] mayor and I were at the ace

[28:51] pickleball club, if you are

[28:53] worried about not enough

[28:55] pickleball courts, this is an

[28:56] opportunity.

[28:58] And highlight in a forgotten

[29:00] corn, the y created by madison

[29:04] and green back all the way to

[29:06] what used to be big lots and now

[29:08] the ace pickleball club is a

[29:10] part of folsom and go to those

[29:11] businesses just like the rest of

[29:14] the city, that's in my district,

[29:15] district 1.

[29:18] And last thing the final summer

[29:20] concert that's held in the

[29:23] amphitheater on sutter street is

[29:26] this thursday at 7:30 -- 7.

[29:29] People will set chairs up at 6

[29:32] A.M. If you want a good spot be

[29:34] an early bird for that concert

[29:35] that evening.

[29:37] That is all, thank you very

[29:38] much.

[29:39] >> thank you.

[29:40] Vice mayor.

[29:40] Councilmember leary.

[29:42] >> I want to acknowledge that we

[29:45] had some nice events to attend

[29:46] this past weekend with the

[29:48] opening of jewish community

[29:50] center and a muslim community

[29:51] center.

[29:52] It was really enjoyable to go in

[29:55] and talk to the members of those

[29:56] congregations.

[30:00] And learn more about their work.

[30:02] And attempts to increase

[30:04] education, availability of

[30:07] library books, at both sites.

[30:09] And I thought muslim community

[30:12] center did us a great service by

[30:13] occupying one of those large

[30:16] empty buildings down at the end

[30:19] of blue ravine in the office

[30:20] park that has been losing

[30:22] business for a long time.

[30:24] I think that will help

[30:25] revitalize that area, up there

[30:29] will be the building of the new

[30:30] smud operations tower.

[30:34] And then the other thing I

[30:35] wanted to mention is that we

[30:38] were lucky a couple of months

[30:41] ago I think, to have DR. Slater

[30:43] present some information about

[30:45] lunar landing day.

[30:49] And he sent me a note this

[30:50] morning that the california

[30:53] assembly passed with unanimous

[30:56] consent resolution 139

[30:59] introduced by assembly man josh

[31:03] hoover and co-sponsored.

[31:04] Establishing every JULY 20 as

[31:06] lunar land daig in the state of

[31:09] california and ratified by the

[31:09] senate.

[31:11] Nice opportunity to see what

[31:15] that was all about and done

[31:18] successful in endeavors and

[31:19] appreciates all support he can

[31:20] get throughout the state.

[31:22] And also want to thank staff

[31:25] again for the work on prairie

[31:27] city road.

[31:29] It's been I know a really

[31:30] challenging project and much

[31:31] needed and happy to see one of

[31:35] the items on my top 10 things to

[31:37] move forward earlier this year

[31:39] that we shared with the public

[31:40] is making progress.

[31:43] So thank you again for that.

[31:45] >> thank you.

[31:45] Councilmember aquino.

[31:48] >> MR. Mayor, I hope you have a

[31:49] happy birthday tomorrow, that's

[31:50] all.

[31:55] >> oh, thank you, it's my

[31:56] birthday eve.

[31:57] >> 29 again?

[32:00] >> thanks for making the meeting

[32:02] short on my birthday eve.

[32:08] A couple of things, one, ab2415

[32:14] is moving to the governor's

[32:18] desk, hoover bill on historic

[32:21] district and great news for

[32:25] folsom and hope that the

[32:27] governor encouraged to sign that

[32:30] bill and help protect our

[32:31] historic district.

[32:32] And community service day last

[32:36] had 800 volunteer slots needed

[32:37] to be filled.

[32:41] And after meeting with the mayor

[32:45] yesterday and got to of my lead

[32:51] slots filled, councilmember

[32:53] aquino, and one still with

[32:54] painting skills and out there

[32:56] and wondering what to do on

[32:59] community service day and you
