For the second year in a row, the City ended the fiscal year with a surplus that was added to unrestricted cash reserves. At last week's City Council meeting, Chief Financial Officer Jim Francis reported a surplus of $640,930.  He noted that the surplus was primarily the result of expenditures under budget, rather than improving economic conditions.

Newcomers may take Folsom's beautiful, spacious Public Library for granted.  However, those who've been around awhile remember the cramped former firehouse facility on Persifer Street and the miniscule county branch library.  There's much to celebrate as the Folsom Public Library celebrates its 20th anniversary.

Fall is always a busy time in Folsom and this year is no exception -- Folsom Live, Folsom Family Expo, Zoo Sanctuary 50th Birthday Party, Folsom Glow Run, Fire Prevention/Fire Safety Open House, Bark 'n' Splash Bash, Folsom Renaissance Faire and more!
