Folsom Voters Decide Three City Government Ballot Measures on Nov. 3
Folsom residents will vote Nov. 3 on three ballot measures that could reshape city government: Measure I transfers authority over the city attorney from the city manager to the City Council; Measure J allows the council to grant decision-making power to appointed boards and commissions; and Measure K raises the individual contribution limit for City Council candidates from $150 to $500 per election. The proposals originated with Folsom's 2026 Ad Hoc Charter Review Committee and were placed on the ballot by a July 14 council vote, at an estimated cost of $107,400. Both the Sacramento County Democratic and Republican parties endorsed all three measures, while conservative group Reform California backed Measures I and K but opposed Measure J. Each measure requires a simple majority to pass.
