FOLSOM TAKES ACTION - VOTE YES ON FOLSOM MEASURE G
ALL REVENUE STAYS IN FOLSOM AND CAN ONLY BE ALLOCATED BASED ON THE PIE
We live in a wonderful community….a GOOD community. But our city has revenue shortfalls in every general fund department. Our shift to online shopping, which sends most of the sales tax revenue generated by Folsom online shoppers to the county and state, has flattened our sales tax revenue, even as our city has grown. In addition, we have more than $20 million in deferred maintenance throughout our city. This means we spend more money on expensive emergency repairs.
Police Services: Increase personnel, equipment and resources for our police department
- Hire more police officers to ensure beat coverage in ALL NEIGHBORHOODS of Folsom
- Purchase much-needed technology for police to better serve our community and to make their work more efficient
- Address the criminal element of the homeless population
- Clear homeless camps with the police and code enforcement teams and sanitation crews
- Acquire the building currently rented for an expanded police facility and upgrade the aging police building
- Acquire the cars the police department needs. They requested five in the budget and there was only funds for five
- Address the need for a public safety substation in Folsom Ranch
