Good morning, Folsom.

The annual Folsom Hometown Parade will begin on Saturday on Sutter Street at 9:30 a.m. as a free celebration of the city's history—organizer Megan Demmel-Frick said visitors should arrive early to manage parking and road closures while enjoying historical characters, live music, and a farmers market before the 4th of July festivities.

The California Department of Social Services will relaunch its SUN Bucks program for Sacramento County this summer—set to provide $120 in food benefits per eligible child in three monthly installments.

The program will automatically enroll children receiving CalFresh, CalWORKs, Medi-Cal or free/reduced-price meals to help families bridge the meal gap during summer break.

Folsom City Council approved a new Community Facilities District for 118 planned homes in Russell Ranch—funding roads, parks and local services.

The district will charge annual special taxes from $1,280 to $1,500 that will increase 2% each year to support future infrastructure.

Folsom City Council approved a $123.5 million budget for fiscal year 2025 to 26 that will use about $3 million from emergency reserves to cover a shortfall.

The council also cut spending by suspending a $427,000 retiree health trust contribution and eliminating non-essential expenses—steps that could lead to future service cuts if costs keep rising.

On Tuesday night, the Folsom City Council approved removing on-site supervision at the Cummings Family Skate and Bike Park to save approximately $41,000 annually—and redirected $14,500 toward automated lighting controls.

The council also denied a petition to relax safety gear rules to comply with state health and safety code as part of broad measures to reduce a projected $3 million shortfall.
