Folsom Council introduces own ballot measure

   The public will be given a chance to weigh in on the City of Folsom's proposed ballot measure which addresses development for the land in the city's Sphere of Influence, south of US 50.

   On July 13 the Folsom City Council introduced and conducted the first reading of the proposed measure. The ballot measure contains an amendment to the City Charter that will set policies for any development in the area Prairie City Road, White Rock Road and the El Dorado County line.

   Public comments will be taken at the second reading of the proposed amendment during the July 27 City Council meeting. At that time, Council members may choose to adopt the ordinance that places the proposed amendment before local voters at the November 2 general election.

   Council meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. in Council Chambers at City Hall, 50 Natoma St.
