Folsom City Council approves assessment district, subdivision map and city manager appointment; several planning and housing items pass

The Folsom City Council on Jan. 14 unanimously approved a package of routine and substantive items, including formation of an assessment district for Natoma Station, approval of a large‑lot tentative subdivision map for the Alder Creek West project, appointment of a new city manager and acceptance of a parcel‑map waiver for a 136‑unit condominium project in the Mangini Ranch area.

Why it matters: The actions set policy and land‑use direction for parts of the Folsom Plan Area, authorize a maintenance assessment process for the Natoma Station neighborhood and install a new city manager whose compensation and benefits were publicly disclosed at the meeting.
