Date
9 Memorandum: Chronology of Requests for Vacation of A Portion of O'Neil Alley To: City Council
Date: 10 March 2026
From: Pat Keene, City Attorney
A. In June 2014, Kevin Jennings requested that the City vacate the portion of O'Neil Alley adjacent to his property. City Council approved permission for abandonment of that portion of O'Neil Alley, pursuant to the California Streets and Highways Code, S§8300, et seq., but that procedure was never completed.
In December 2023, Brusatori, owner of property on the east side of O'Neil Alley, and Jennings, owner of property on the west side of O'Neil Alley, raised the issue with the Council as to whether the vacation of a portion of O'Neil Alley had been completed. (It had not.)
C. In February 2026, Brusatori informed the Council that the O'Neil Alley right-of-way issue remains unresolved and requested that this matter be placed on a future City Council Regular Agenda.
Memorandum: Legal Effects of Vacating a City Street
To: City Council
Date: 10 March 2026
From: Pat Keene, City Attorney
Legal Effects of Vacating a City Street
When a California city vacates a public street, the core effect is that the public's right of way is terminated, and the underlying property interest typically shifts to the abutting property owners The details depend on California's Public Streets, Highways, and Service Easements Vacation Law (Streets & Highways Code §§8300-8363) and on how the street was originally dedicated.
What happens legally when a city vacates a street
Vacating a street is a legislative act by the city council. It does not "give" land to anyone; it simply removes the city's easement or right of way. The underlying fee interest-often already held by abutting owners-becomes unburdened.
Key points:
- The city must make findings that the vacation is consistent with the General Plan and that the right of way is no longer needed for public use.
- Notice and public hearings are required under Streets & Highways Code §§8320-8323. - The city may impose conditions (e.g., relocating utilities, drainage, curb/gutter improvements) before finalizing the vacation.
How title shifts to abutting property owners
In California, the effect on abutting owners depends on how the street was originally created:
1. If the street was dedicated by subdivision map or deed Most city streets are created by dedication, meaning the city only holds a public easement, not the underlying fee.
When vacated:
- The easement disappears, and
- The underlying fee interest automatically reverts to the abutting property owners, usually to the centerline of the vacated street
Memorandum: Procedure for Vacating Portion of a City Street To: City Council
Date: 10 March 2026
From: Pat Keene, City Attorney
Streets and Highway Code §§8335.
(a)
(1) The legislative body may vacate a street, highway, or public service easement pursuant to the authority provided in this chapter by adopting a resolution of vacation.
The resolution of vacation shall state all of the following:
(1) That the vacation is made under this chapter.
(2) The name or other designation of the street, highway, or public service easement and a precise description of the portion vacated. The description of the portion vacated may be by a precise map which is recorded or to which reference is made in the resolution and which is permanently maintained by the public entity. (3) The facts under which the summary vacation is made. If the vacation is made pursuant to Section 8332, the statement shall include the date of the agreement. The resolution is prima facie evidence of the facts stated. (4) That from and after the date the resolution is recorded, the street, highway, or public service easement vacated no longer constitutes a street, highway, or public service easement.
Streets and Highway Code §§8336.
(a) The clerk shall cause a certified copy of the resolution of vacation, attested by the clerk under seal, to be recorded without acknowledgment, certificate of acknowledgment, or further proof in the office of the recorder of the county in which the property is located. No fee shall be charged for recordation. (b) Upon such recordation, the vacation is complete.

Re: 0 Neil Ally
Mayor Staples,
I want to remind Amador City that when the City Council discusses property lines on O'Neil Ally between the Brusatori (APN 008-271-001) and Jennings (APN -008-281-001) properties, that there are Amador Water Agency and public sewer service lines under the road (O'Neil Ally) supplying service to my home above this area. I want to be sure that these service lines are protected from any damage when any work is done in this O'Neil Ally area, such as tencing, roadwork, signage, etc. It the road is abandoned to a private party or parties, please ensure that a public utility easement is retained.
I will be stepping down at our City Council meetings due to my conflict of interest on this topic.
Thanks, Susan Bragstad

Reference: Hazard Mitigation Plan Approvable Pending Adoption Amador County, CA
Dear Sgt. Matt Girton:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has completed its review of the 2025 Amador County Hazard Mitigation Plan and has determined that the plan is eligible for final approval, pending its formal adoption by Amador County and all participating jurisdictions. Please refer to the enclosed list of jurisdictions currently considered Approvable Pending Adoption (APA).
Formal adoption documentation must be submitted to FEMA Region 9 by at least one participating jurisdiction within one calendar year from the date of this letter. If no adoption is received within that timeframe, the plan must be updated and resubmitted for review.
FEMA will issue formal approval of the plan upon receipt of the adoption documentation. Once approved, all other participating jurisdictions must adopt the plan within five calendar years of the approval date. Adoption of the plan is required to maintain eligibility for funding under FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) programs. All funding requests will be evaluated based on the specific eligibility criteria and requirements of the applicable HMA program.
Please note that while local hazard mitigation plans may include additional content to meet Element H: Additional State Requirements or other local objectives, FEMA's APA status does not constitute review or approval of any content exceeding FEMA's standard mitigation planning requirements.
If you have any questions regarding the planning or review processes, please contact the FEMA Region 9 Hazard Mitigation Planning Team at [email protected].

Assembly Bill 2140 (AB 2140) Fact Sheet
*
Information for Counties and Cities
What is AB 2140?
Passed in 2006, Assembly Bill No. 2140 (AB 2140) allows California counties and cities to be considered for additional state cost-share on eligible Public Assistance projects by adopting their current, FEMA-approved local hazard mitigation plans (LHMPs) into the Safety Element of their General Plan. This adoption, along with other requirements, makes the county or city eligible to be considered for part or all of its local-share costs on eligible Public Assistance projects to be provided by the state through the California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA). For more information regarding Public Assistance, please visit Cal OES Public Assistance Division.
How Can AB 2140 Help Counties, Cities, and Your Citizens? For eligible Public Assistance projects, the typical local (non-federal) cost share is 25% of the total project cost. CDAA can allow the state to pay up to 18.75% of the non- federal share, that would otherwise fall upon the county or city, to pay for eligible Public Assistance projects once the legislature has passed a bill allowing additional state funding after a disaster occurs. Upon approval of the legislature, counties and cities that are AB 2140 compliant are also eligible to be considered for the remaining
6.25% local share to be funded by the state, essentially covering the entire local-share cost for eligible Public Assistance projects. Please note that funding is not guaranteed.
What Do You Need to Know?
• AB 2140 is not a requirement; it is an optional state incentive to help counties and cities become more resilient to natural hazards. Be sure to work with your planning department as the process proceeds.
There are multiple steps that must be completed before Cal OES can issue a letter of AB 2140 compliance. These steps are listed in detail below in the section What Are the Steps to Become AB 2140 Compliant? Be aware that adopting the LHMP via a formal resolution is a federal requirement for FEMA to officially "approve" the LHMP and does not make your jurisdiction automatically AB 2140 compliant. AB 2140 is a state incentive which also requires adopting your HMP into the Safety Element of your General Plan.
However, both adoptions can take place at the same time using the same adoption resolution.
• AB 2140 compliance expires when the LHMP expires. You must re-adopt the LHMP itself AND adopt the LHMP into the Safety Element of your General Plan each time you update your LHMP in order to continue compliance. • For multi-jurisdiction hazard mitigation plans (MJHMPs), the county and each city in the MJHMP must adopt its own specific annex into its own General Plan

Safety Element. Annex jurisdictions are not covered under the county's adoption.
• Special districts are not eligible for AB 2140 compliance as they do not have General Plans.
• For additional information on General Plan and Safety Element requirements please contact the California Office of Planning and Research (OPR).
What Are the Steps to Become AB 2140 Compliant?
1. Complete and submit an LHMP to the Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES). A jurisdiction must have a current, FEMA-approved LHMP. a. Cal OES will provide an initial review and, if applicable, request required revisions based on the FEMA LHMP Guidance.
b. Once Cal OES has determined the plan has met all FEMA LHMP requirements, Cal OES will then forward the LHMP to FEMA for final review and approval.
c. For questions or assistance, please contact the Cal OES Local Mitigation Planning Unit at [email protected].
2. LHMP adoption AND adoption into the Safety Element of the General Plan a. Adopt the LHMP via a formal resolution following your jurisdiction's typical procedure once FEMA has issued "approvable pending adoption" (APA) status. Once FEMA receives a signed adoption resolution, they can then issue an official "approval" notice for your LHMP
i. A sample adoption resolution for your LHMP is provided in Appendix B of the FEMA LHMP Policy Guide.
b. At this time, you may also choose to adopt the LHMP into the Safety Element of your General Plan using the same resolution in order to meet a requirement of AB 2140 compliance (see step 3).
i. Within the Safety Element update adoption resolution, there must be language specific to adopting the LHMP into the Safety Element of the General Plan, and the resolution must be signed and approved before the LHMP expires. This adoption can occur at the same time the LHMP is adopted to comply with FEMA requirements, or it can occur after the LHMP is approved but before it expires after five years.
c. At any time during the life of an approved HMP a jurisdiction may choose to adopt the LHMP into the Safety Element of their General Plan, however, when the LHMP expires, AB 2140 compliance will also expire.

Assembly Bill 2140 (AB 2140) Fact Sheet
Information for Counties and Cities
3. Safety Element Language
a. The local agency must include language specific to the LHMP within the Safety Element of their General Plan and make the LHMP easily accessible in its entirety as a weblink, appendices, or attachment (see step 4).
b. Jurisdictions should follow their own internal procedures for Safety Element language, however, below is sample language that may be used:
i. "The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) for the [Add Jurisdiction Namel planning area was developed in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) and followed FEMA's Local Hazard Mitigation Plan guidance. The LHMP incorporates a process where hazards are identified and profiled, the people and facilities at risk are analyzed, and mitigation actions are developed to reduce or eliminate hazard risk. The implementation of these mitigation actions, which include both short and long-term strategies, involve planning, policy changes, programs, projects, and other activities. (Add a web link or language directing to the LHMP attachment or appendix within the Safety Element. Discussed further in step #4 below.)"
4. LHMP Accessibility and Links
a. The current, approved LHMP must be easily accessible and available to the public viewing the Safety Element. This requirement can be met by linking the LHMP electronically to the General Plan Safety Element or by including the LHMP in its entirety as an attachment or appendix in the Safety Element and referencing its location with the plan. b. Web links should be monitored so that they are in working condition and bring the viewer to the most recent approved version of the LHMP.
5. E-mail the link to the updated General Plan Safety Element web page along with the signed adoption resolution (s) to the Cal OES AB 2140 inbox [email protected] for review and approval.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Who do I contact if I have additional questions regarding my LHMP or AB 2140 status?
A: For questions regarding AB 2140 compliance please contact [email protected]. For questions pertaining to your LHMP, please contact the Cal OES Local Hazard Mitigation Planning team at
[email protected].
Q: If a county is AB 2140 compliant, are its cities automatically covered? A: No. Each county and city must:
1. Have either your own stand-alone LHMP or have an annex in a MJHMP.
2. Have adopted your approved stand-alone LHMP or annex into your own General Plan Safety Element.
Q: Can a jurisdiction obtain AB 2140 compliance before their LHMP is approvable pending adoption (APA) from FEMA?
A: No. The LHMP must be either APA or officially "approved" by FEMA before you may adopt to obtain AB 2140 compliance.
Q: Are special districts covered under their county's LHMP since they do not have their own general plan?
A: No. Special districts are not qualified for additional cost share under AB 2140 because they do not have a General Plan.
Q: If a county or city becomes AB 2140 compliant, does this compliance last forever?
A: No. AB 2140 compliance expires on the day the LHMP expires. You must re-adopt your LHMP into your General Plan Safety Element each time you update your LHMP.
Q: Once a county or city becomes AB 2140 compliant, are they guaranteed funding?
A: No. You will be eligible to be considered for additional CDAA funding upon approval of the legislature. There is no guarantee of funding.
Q: Can a city or county adopt their LHMP to obtain AB 2140 compliance at the same time they adopt their LHMP to fulfill the FEMA requirement when the LHMP is approvable pending adoption?
A: Yes, this is a viable option. It is crucial, however, that Cal OES receives a copy of the adoption resolution to ensure compliance. Your jurisdiction is

not compliant until Cal OES has documentation and has issued a compliance letter.
Q: If the actual LHMP is added to the General Plan, but not within the Safety Element, is language still required in the Safety Element? A: Yes, language specific to the LHMP and a web link, appendix, or language within the Safety Element that directs the public to the most current, approved LHMP in its entirety is required to be in the Safety Element.

TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: SUSAN M. PETERS, CITY PLANNER
SUBJECT: HOUSING ELEMENT 2025 ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT
RECOMMENDATION
Review and accept the Amador City Housing Element Annual Progress Report 2025.
BACKGROUND
Local jurisdictions are required to submit a Housing Element Annual Report (APR) to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1 of each year. The report provides information to the State and the public on the implementation of the City's General Plan Housing Element and progress towards our Regional Housing Needs Allocation numbers.
APR's must be presented to the local legislative body for its review and acceptance, usually as a consent or discussion item on a regular meeting agenda.
DISCUSSION
The Amador City 6" Cycle Housing Element was adopted by the city in 2023 and certified by HCD in February 2025. As with last year's APR, the 2025 APR is based on the programs in the 6" Cycle Housing Element. The most pertinent section of the APR is the Housing Element Implementation Table (Table D) which summarizes progress made on the programs outlined in the Housing Element.
Table D is attached for Council review and consideration. There was progress made with implementation, particularly with the updates made to the zoning code with the adoption of Ordinance No. 188. These updates were required by the Housing Element to streamline definitions, encourage and support a variety of housing types, including special needs housing and affordable housing,
The City Council should review and consider acceptance of the Annual Progress Report information. Once accepted, staff will upload the report to HCD by the April 1, 2026 deadline.

Subject: Sidewalk repair.
Hello. My husband Bud Meyer and myself own the building on Main Street and would like to discuss the repair of the sidewalk which is the responsibility of the city to keep up. It is lifting and cracking making it a tripping hazard. The main area is in front of the Sophisticated Pickers store.
Please advise us on how to proceed with getting this resolved Bud & Penny Meyer

Re: Request Waiver of Special Event Permit fees
Thank you for your past support of the Kit Carson Mountain Men Wagon Train and Days of 49 Celebration. Now in our 12*h year, your continued support is needed to help underwrite the costs to make this free public event a success for this year - and in the future! This family-oriented event is designed to keep alive Gold Rush history and the traditions and culture of California's pioneers and Native Americans.
The KCMM Wagon Train hopes we can count on:
1. Your continued sponsorship of a wagon for $650 and,
2. Your continued assistance by waiving the Special Event permit fees. KCMM is an IRS exempt 501 (C-3) non-
profit organization.
Thank you for your consideration and assistance,
Amador City 2022
