Subject: Letter of Interest Regarding Vacant City Council Member Position Dear Mayor Staples:
Presented herein is my letter of interest in being considered for the current vacant position on the City Council as a result of the recent resignation of City Council Member Ms. Melanie Unquez. I have been a resident of Amador City for over a year, and my professional background would be well-suited in fulfilling this particular vacancy. As a professional engineering and environmental geologist, I have participated in hundreds of public hearings on behalf of clients and in my role as Executive Officer of the California State Mining and Geology Board from 2005 to 2016. In such roles, I am very acquainted with the State's Administrative Procedure Act (APA), the Brown Act, and various codes pertaining to ethics and conflicts of interest (resume is attached).
I believe my skill set would be complementary and an asset to that of the existing council members. I appreciate your consideration of this letter of interest.
Respectfully submitted,
saluta

RE: Your Appointment to the
Amador City Council
Dear Mr. Testa:
I am the Amador City Attorney, and I have been requested to contact you regarding your appointment to the Amador City Council at its last meeting on June 9th.
California Government Code section 36502, subsection (a), which reads as follows, sets forth the requirements for a person to serve as a California city councilperson:
"(a) A person is not eligible to hold office as councilmember, city clerk, or city treasurer unless he or she is at the time of assuming the office an elector of the city, and was a registered voter of the city at the time nomination papers are issued to the candidate as provided for in Section 10227 of the Elections Code. (Emphasis added]."
The term "elector of the city" means a person registered to vote at an address within that city.
It has come to the attention of the Council that at the time of your appointment, and assuming office last Tuesday, you were not registered to vote in Amador City. Accordingly, pursuant to the above Government Code section, you are not eligible to hold the office of councilperson.
The City Council does not have authority on its own to remove you from the Council. The procedure for that would be a "quo warranto" lawsuit in the Amador Superior Court, to be brought either by the California Attorney General's office or by the City, provided that the Attorney General's office gives its consent for the City to so proceed.
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of this issue, and to provide you an opportunity to resign from the Council to avoid the above-referenced litigation. - 1-
If you decline to do so, the matter will be put on the Council's agenda for the City to request leave to sue in quo warranto to have the Superior Court determine the propriety of your appointment. •
Please reply to me at your earliest convenience as your preference in the manner of resolving this issue. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Patrick M. Keene
Attorney at Law

Subject: Legal Matter Regarding Amador City Council Appointment Dear Mr. Keene:
I am in receipt of your letter dated June 16, 2026, which was received via certified mail on June 23, 2026 (Attached). The purpose of such correspondence was twofold: to inform me of the issue pertaining to voting residency pursuant to California Government Code section 36502 and Section 10227 of the Election Code, and provide me an opportunity to resign from the Council to avoid referenced litigation. However, in review of the criteria set forth in your correspondence, I believe I am in full compliance with all statutory and regulatory requirements in order to voluntarily serve as a city council member for the remainder of my respective term.
I am not aware of the source of your information regarding this matter, but you may recall that I was asked this very question during the City Council meeting of June 9th; wherein, I indicated that I filled out the appropriate forms. Following the June 9*h city council meeting, my Voting Notification Card with a Registration Date of June 2, 2026, was subsequently provided to the City Clerk, Ms. Davidson (Attached). It is noted herein that as of June 2, I was officially an "elector of the city" as defined in your correspondence as being "registered to vote at an address within the city".
I do not understand the litigious tone of your correspondence, nor where such concern originated and why this matter could not be handled with a simple phone call. If there were a legal procedural issue with me voluntarily being appointed to serve as a new city council member, I would without question resign accordingly.
Based on the aforementioned Voting Registration Card and noted Registration Date, I trust this matter is resolved notwithstanding if there is a misunderstanding on my part which I need to further consider. Please do not hesitate to contact me should any outstanding issues or concerns persist.
Respectfully,
Stephen M. Testa

Subject: Agenda Item Consideration
Dear Mayor Staples:
As you are aware, as a duly appointed city council member, I received a litigious and threatening, presumptive bias, letter dated June 16, 2026, from City Attorney Mr. Patrick Keene leaving me with two options: either resign or legal counsel would pursue litigation in regards to mispresenting my voting status during the June gth city council meeting. I did not misrepresent my voting registration status. Furthermore, I have addressed Mr. Keene's issues in correspondence dated June 24, 2026, and believe this matter has been resolved. I look forward to receiving written confirmation from Mr. Keene regarding this matter, preferably prior to the forthcoming city council meeting scheduled for July.
In regards to the upcoming July Amador City Council meeting, I wish to offer the following agenda item for consideration should such written confirmation not be received in a timely manner since I would have to pursue and retain legal counsel accordingly:
Proposed Agenda Item: Consideration of Further Actions relating to Appointment of Council Member Stephen M. Testa
Being threatened with legal action or requested to resign in such a public display is a serious matter. Please understand that the aforementioned request does not limit my legal rights to address other related issues in the appropriate manner.
I appreciate your consideration in the request offered herein, and truly hope for an amicable result.

Subject: Agenda Item Consideration
Dear Mayor Staples:
As you are aware, I have received no response from you or City Attorney Keene regarding resolution of issues related to my recent appointment to the Amador City Council. Such lack of response raises significant concerns and warrants, in part, clarification as to procedures for the City Attorney to litigate or threaten litigation against any party or individual, including individual dually appointed city council members.
Several issues are raised based on recent developments regarding this matter:
• Who decided that the City Attorney should threaten litigation in Superior Court based on an assumption and/or presumptive bias?
• Can a City Council member, including the Mayor, individually request the City Attorney to commence litigation for reasons such as dissatisfaction with a particular vote from another City Council member(s), differences in opinion among City Council members, cultural preferences, etc.
• Can legal action commence or be threatened by the City Attorney unbeknownst to the other City Council members?
• What are the appropriate administrative procedures and processes for consideration of legal action on behalf of the City Attorney?
In summary, the City Attorney, to my understanding, serves the municipality (i.e., Amador City), not individual members of the City Council, the Mayor or individual residents of the city, but rather represents the City Council as a whole.
I am of the opinion that the City Attorney should be in a position to review such administrative procedures and policies from a legal perspective, albeit such procedures and policies would require preparation by the City Council or Committee thereof. Such procedures and policies guidance manuals are commonplace among City Councils throughout the State to assure some sense of fundamental understanding of the lines of communications, what is expected, agenda building, etc.
In the meantime, and in regards to the upcoming July Amador City Council meeting, I wish to offer the following agenda item for consideration:

RESOLUTION ADOPTING A LIST OF PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 FUNDED BY SB 1: THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) was passed by the Legislature and Signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide; and WHEREAS, SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the residents of the City of Amador are aware of the projects proposed for funding in our community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year; and WHEREAS, Amador City must adopt by resolution a list of projects proposed to receive fiscal year funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1, which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project's completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement; and WHEREAS, Amador City will receive an estimated $5,627.00 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2026-2027 from SB 1; and
WHEREAS, this is the 10th year in which Amador City is receiving SB 1 funding and will enable Amador City to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety improvements, repairing and replacing aging bridges, and increasing access and mobility options for the traveling public that would not have otherwise been possible without SB 1; and WHEREAS, Amador City has undergone a public process to ensure public input into our community's transportation priorities/the project list; and WHEREAS, Amador City referenced the Pavement Management System managed and maintained by the Amador County Transportation Commission to develop the SB 1 project list to ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost-effective projects that also meet the communities priorities for transportation investment; and WHEREAS, the funding from SB 1 will help Amador City maintain and rehabilitate the safety of 3 intersections throughout this year and of 2 similar projects into the future; and WHEREAS, the 2023 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment found that Amador City's streets and roads are in an "at-risk" condition and this revenue will help increase the overall safety of the road system and over the next decade will bring the safety of streets and roads into a lower risk condition; and
WHEREAS, the SB 1 project list and overall investment in our local streets and roads infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance and safety, investing in roadway safety, and using appropriate materials and practices, will have significant positive co-benefits statewide; and WHEREAS, the City recognizes that its needs and priorities may change with regard to roads and roadway safety throughout the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 and therefore reserves the right to re-direct RMRA funds to other necessary road maintenance and road rehabilitation projects should the need arise.
NOW, THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, ORDERED AND FOUND by the City Council of the City of Amador City, State of California, as follows:

INCORPORATED JUNE 2, 1915

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION (From Sutter Creek)
The Amador County Fire Safety Council spearheaded a regional effort to develop the County's Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). The CWPP working group, consisting of staff from Amador municipal, district, and county agencies collaborated for more than seven months to develop the draft CWPP.
At its April 28, 2026 regular meeting, the Amador County Board of Supervisors adopted the CWPP.
The next step after the April 28, 2026 adoption of the CWPP is for each municipal and district agency in the County to approve the CWPP.
What is a CWPP?
A Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) is a locally developed, collaborative roadmap designed to assess wildfire hazards, prioritize fuels reduction, and improve emergency preparedness. Authorized under the federal Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 (HFRA), the CWPP is the primary tool/reference used by communities to manage local wildfire risks.
Why the CWPP is Important
• Saves Lives and Property: It identifies precise high-risk zones, map-crucial evacuation routes, and establishes actionable strategies to protect local neighborhoods.
Influences Federal Action: It legally empowers local communities to dictate where and how federal agencies (like the U.S. Forest Service) implement fuel reduction projects on surrounding public lands.
Coordinates Resources: It brings together residents, Fire Safe Councils, city leaders, and CAL FIRE to act as a unified front.
Why All Cities Must Sign the CWPP
Under the HFRA framework, a CWPP cannot be formally adopted or considered valid unless it is mutually agreed upon and signed by three entity groups: the local governments (individual city councils/county supervisors), the local fire departments, and the state forestry agency (CAL FIRE). If a city in Amador County fails to sign it, the plan does not legally apply to their jurisdiction, leaving a dangerous gap in regional safety planning. This not only puts the non-signing city and its residents in a dangerous position especially in times of crisis, but the region as a whole.
What Cities / District Agencies Gain From Signing the CWPP Priority Funding Access: Signed plans grant cities first-tier eligibility for massive federal and state grants, such as the Community Wildfire Defense Grant (CWDG) and FEMA funding.
Expedited Environmental Reviews: The federal government uses alternative, fast- tracked environmental compliance pathways to clear out brush and build fuel breaks taster around cities with an active CWPP.
Customized Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Boundaries: Cities gain the legal right to map out their own unique WUl boundaries, ensuring that building standards and vegetation management reflect local geography rather than generic state templates 209) 267-0682 P.O.

Acknowledgments
The development of this Community Wildfire Protection Plan was made possible through the collaborative efforts of many individuals, agencies, and organizations listed in the Steering committee and Working Group who contributed time, expertise, and resources throughout the lanning process. Contributors provided guidance, technical input, data, local expertise, anc feedback during meetings and engagement activities that helped shape the plan's goals, strategies, and recommendations. Additional support was provided through data analysis, mapping, outreach coordination, and documentation efforts.
In addition, community members who participated in the public mapping survey and district meetings provided valuable insight from the community-at-large that helped inform this plan.
District meetings would not have been possible without the participation of each member of the Board of Supervisors.
This project was supported by Grant L24AC00434-00 "Rancheria Ridge Fuel Break and County-Wide Planning Project" from the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Department of the Interior.

Mayor Staples,
The current Law Enforcement Services Agreement (LESA) between the County of Amador and Amador City went into effect in 2004. Based upon our recent discussions, both parties appear to mutually agree that this 22-year-old contract should be refreshed.
Section 10 of the LESA allows either party to "terminate the Agreement by giving one year's notice to the other party at any time." To ensure that work towards a successor contract moves forward in a timely and efficient manner, the County wishes to notify the City of our intention to terminate the existing LESA on June 30, 2027. The County would entertain an earlier termination of the existing LESA, or an amendment to the existing LESA, should mutually agreeable terms be reached
We look forward to discussing this matter with you and your team in the coming weeks.
Sincerely,
Jarret Benov

Memo: MICROTRENCHING & ROADWAY REHABILITATION FOR PROPOSED
UNDERGROUND FIBER OPTIC ENCROACHMENT PERMIT
BACKGROUND (from Sutter Creek)
The Central Valley Independent Network (CVIN) operates a 2,500-mile fiber-optic middle-mile infrastructure spanning 23 counties in Northern and Central California. It functions as a critical backbone to bridge the digital divide, providing the infrastructure necessary for economic survival, public safety, and educational equity in historically underserved regions.
California Statewide Strategy
• Statewide Anchor Connections: Partners with CENIC to link K-12 schools, community colleges, universities, and local government nodes.
• Public Safety & Health: Supports infrastructure for 911 emergency centers and rural telehealth systems.
Economic Competitiveness: Offers open-access architecture enabling local ISPs to deliver high- speed, 10 Gbps services to homes, businesses, and cell towers.
2. Rural City Impact
• Ends Digital Isolation: Bridges the gap left by major commercial providers who bypass low- density populations.
Drives Local Industry: Attracts remote workers and empowers agriculture and manufacturing with cloud and monitoring technologies.
Prevents Population Decline: Keeps businesses and residents from relocating to major metropolitan areas.
• Equitable Access: Unlocks remote learning and virtual healthcare for isolated residents.
3. Future Alignment - CVIN aligns with the California Department of Technology's broader initiatives to expand middle-mile infrastructure and advance statewide broadband availability.
The CVIN has been planning to expand the current backbone in Jackson through to the City of Plymouth by installing underground fiber optic facilities from the City of Plymouth to the City of Jackson (see attached vicinity map). CVIN has subcontracted the construction oversight of this project to Volcano Telephone Company. Volcano Telephone had a pre-bid meeting in early March with construction contractors and local representatives from the City of Sutter Creek, City of Amador City and Amador County to field review the project design and go over City and County roadway rehabilitation standards.
To enable future middle mile and premise connections to the most residences, businesses, schools, and our government buildings, we requested the route be modified to go down Old Highway 49.
Volcano Telecomm obliged and redesigned to bring the backbone fiber optic on this route.
In mid-April, Volcano representatives requested a meeting with City of Sutter Creek and Amador City representatives to determine if other construction methods and reduced roadway rehabilitation would be acceptable in each City as bids for the project within City limits came in at approximately 3.5 million dollars and were much higher than anticipated. The higher cost is threatening the viability of this strategic project that is core to future economic development plans. (209) 267-0682 P.O. BOX 200 AMADOR CITY, CALIFORNIA 95601

DISCUSSION:
Volcano Telephone is requesting that the City allow for pavement rehabilitation work to revert back to hat they were (a one-foot pavement repair past the excavation limit on all sides). Volcano Telephon stimates that the microtrenching and directional drilling work with the previous roadway rehabilitatio standards will save them approximately $600,000.
None of the proposed route impacts roads that were recently repaved. We are recommending that Council approve the Microtrenching Exception
BUDGET IMPACT:
N/A. Construction inspection costs by the City Staff would be reimbursed by the applicant. (209) 267-0682 P.O. BOX 200 AMADOR CITY, CALIFORNIA 95601 EXHIBIT 1
