Subject: Fw: ATS street closure for Poppy Pedal
Date: March 25, 2026 at 10:40 AM
To: [email protected], Staples Sandy [email protected], Bradley Booker [email protected] Today Foothill Kitchen received the attached notice, which I presume is related to a request for a city event permit? While we are big supporters of the Poppy Pedal, I am writing to share our strong objection to the duration of the street closure. In contrast to other occasions when Water Street is closed for events (Dancin' in the Street, Community Potluck), this event closes the street during business operating hours - in fact, as proposed, the street in front of our business would be closed for the entirety of our business operating hours (I have shared our concerns in the past directly to Bradley Booker). While a short closure to help ATS organize the riders would be ok (say: 7.30 - noon), keeping the road closed so far beyond the end of the race does not make sense and will create a hardship for our customers and business.

I urge you to reconsider the duration of the Water Street closure. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Based on the information you provided, it would appear that the City's interest is in the nature of an easement, which if vacated would revert title to the underlying property owners, who are presumed to each own to the center of the street.

Hope this suffices.

Good morning, Pat-
I am following through on the right-of-way issue on O'Neill Alley between Kevin Jennings and Gary Brusatori.

At the last City Council meeting you stated that the City's next step was to determine whether the stretch of O'Neil Alley between the Jennings and Brusatori properties was owned by the City.

Joyce went to the County, to both the Recorder's Office and the Surveyor's. The Surveyor's Office told her the following:
- a map from 1871 show's O'Neil Alley as it is today. (a road) - it is not a County maintained road
- there is no indication on any map from the present to the one from 1871 that the road belonged to either property owner
- there is nothing else memorializing ownership of the road It will need to be on the April agenda but in what capacity: reporting only? reporting and possible action to do nothing or to proceed with the process of vacating the road? Kevin Jennings

Memorandum: Legal Effects of Vacating a City Street
To: City Council
Date: 10 March 2026
From: Pat Keene, City Attorney
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
1 cleate actor recry ay. The une yo te are are 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.

Re: O'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 fencing, roadwork, signage, etc. If the road is abandoned to a private party or parties, please ensure that a public utility easement is retained.
this top be stepping down at our City Council meetings due to my conflict of interest on Thanks, Susan Bragstad

Nikko and Sandy,
The Sutter Creek City Council moved unanimously Monday night to enter into a formal agreement with Amador City for law enforcement services, under the terms we've discussed. I'm attaching the staff report from Monday's meeting.

The ball is now in your court. If your council decides to move forward, our City attorneys can draft the formal agreement in May for adoption in June.

One outstanding point is that you may be able to negotiate with Gary Redman on terminating the agreement without the year's notice - that is a discussion you will need to have if you move forward.

RECEIVED MAR 2 6 2026
To: City Council and Law Enforcement Committee
From: Patrick & A'Laina Lyons, Amador City Residents and Business Owners Date: 03/25/2026
We understand that Amador City is exploring a change to our current law enforcement coverage, and that City Council has asked for citizen input. We apologize for not attending a recent community information session on this topic, but we were unaware that it had taken place.

As you enter discussions with Sutter Creek Police and/or Amador County Sheriff Department on possible changes to our law enforcement service coverage, we hope you will consider the critical needs below that should be incorporated into any new contractual agreement- regardless of what entity is providing the service. Addressing these needs will help ensure public safety and foster trust between law enforcement and the community.

Amador City - Critical Law Enforcement Needs
• Personnel: Because of our small size, Amador City is often overlooked as other larger communities take priority due to their size. Increasing the number of officers assigned specifically to patrol Amador City is essential for ensuring consistent and sustainable coverage across the city, particularly during late hours and weekends when incidents are more likely.
• Patrol Visibility and Community Engagement: A highly visible patrol presence acts as a deterrent to crime, increases community engagement, and reassures residents, especially parents and guardians concerned about the safety of their children. Regular patrols near parks, playgrounds, and popular gathering spots can proactively address potential risks and emergencies, reinforcing a sense of security for families.
• Traffic Enforcement: Enhanced enforcement of traffic laws is critical to addressing ongoing unsafe driving behaviors such as speeding and reckless driving, particularly during early morning and late afternoon/evenings on weekdays. Focused initiatives Like community speed awareness and deterrence campaigns are key to protecting community members and their children as they walk and bike in our city.

8 RESOLUTION NO. 646

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AMADOR CITY CONCURRING IN

THE CALL FOR AN ELECTION ON THE QUESTION OF RE-ESTABLISHING THE

COUNTYWIDE ABANDONED VEHICLE ABATEMENT FEE
WHEREAS, the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Program is a State of California program whereby counties and incorporated communities can receive funding to help defray the costs of removing abandoned vehicles within their jurisdictions; and WHEREAS, in 1991, the City of Amador City adopted a resolution supporting the establishment of the Amador County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Authority and the County of Amador duly created the Authority and adopted a fee of $1.00 per vehicle registration to fund the abatement activities of the Authority; and WHEREAS, Proposition 26, adopted by the voters of California in 2010, altered the definition of a fee and resulted in the classification of certain, new fees as taxes subject to voter approval; and
WHEREAS, in November 2012, Amador County voters approved the renewal of the fee for an additional ten years, but the fee has since expired since the required 2/3rds majority of voters did not support the fee in November of 2022; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 22710 (h) of the California Vehicle Code, in order for the voters to consider re-establishment of the fee, a majority of the cities containing a majority of the incorporated population within the County must adopt resolutions agreeing to the re-establishment of the Authority and the continued imposition of the $1.00 fee per vehicle registration upon approval of the voters; and
WHEREAS, the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Authority is vital to keeping Amador County, including all of its incorporated cities, free of the nuisance of abandoned vehicles and the City of Amador City has determined that supporting a re-establishment of the Authority and the continued imposition of the fee will assist in the abatement of nuisance vehicles within the City of Amador City.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Amador City as follows:

1. That the City of Amador City concurs in the re-establishment of the Amador County Vehicle Abatement Program and in the renewed imposition of the $1.00 fee per vehicle registration subject to voter approval at an election to be scheduled by the Amador County Board of Supervisors; and

2. That the City Clerk is directed to transmit a certified copy of this Resolution to the Clerk of the Board.
