Dave McDaniel, Jackson resident, asking what the conclusion on the Brights Alleyway. Mayor Stimpson stated he believes City Manager Kimball will have an update soon but not ready yet.
City Manager Kimball answered it is still in the works and Pitt St Bridge is not currently on the agenda, however, the top layer of the bridge needs to be removed so the City Engineer can do an assessment.

Item 4a1 Council Minutes - 3/14/22
Mary Pulskamp, not a citizen but a merchant on Main Street, appreciates everyone for what they do to make our community thrive.

Mayor Stimpson answered that would be hypothetical at this time and is definitely not in the works and not something happening or ongoing.

Police Chief, Chris Mynderup
• (Covered by City Manager, Kimball)

Police and Public Works will assist with the Bunsen to Breaker Run to kick off the event.
• JPD also has plans to address the encampment at Mission Blvd. • The new Building Inspector/Code Enforcement, Peyton Pushies, started Monday. Peyton came to us from Amador County and look forward to getting him up to speed and already making some very positive input to our daily operation.
6. COUNCIL REPORTS.
This section is to provide Council members an opportunity to present reports on their activities and to request item be placed on future agendas.
Council member Simmons
• Attended the Softball game at Detert Park and talked with Bree, but the lights went out again for the 2nd year in a row. Do we know how to fix this going forward so it does not happen again? Bree talked with Chris Luckey as well, is that he called Bree the previous night to turn the lights off as they were done early and maybe there was a conflict with the online schedule. He sent Chris L. a screenshot showing the time it was set at on his calendar. There was no reason why they should have gone off as he checked it, double and triple checked it. He was able to turn back on from his phone and plans to call the company to see what is going on. It was a call he did not want and will check into what causes that.
Council member McLean
• Attended the Amador County Transportation commission meeting as usual every month.
Discussed funding and distribution over the next year. They have a lot of projects and ideas with a lot of money floating around. He’s looking forward to working on these projects that will help our County and Jackson as a whole. • Attended the Chamber Mixer at the new old hotel, Days Inn, Sutter Creek. They’re doing a great job updating the rooms.
Vice Mayor Gonsalves
• Attended the Chamber Mixer as well, was well represented with a nice mix of people. • This Thursday is the Amador Fire Protection Authority meeting at 3p at the County Building.
• The Car Show is about ½ booked with 100 cars. They will be doing the Friday night preregistration check-in. Will talk to Bree [Public Works] about the Busi parking lot. They have some great sponsorships and should be a beautiful show that weekend.
Mayor Stimpson
• Not much to report as he been suffering severe allergies and sick the past couple weeks and has been home.
7. DISCUSSION CALENDAR.
For the record: Action minutes provide the necessary documentation of City Council actions and audio recordings are retained for those desiring more detail on particular agenda item discussion.
These audio recordings provide an accurate and comprehensive backup of City Council deliberations and citizen discussion.
a. Receive, discuss, and provide direction regarding (verbal) report from the Homeless Outreach Coordinator regarding the City’s response to homeless issues.
Christine Platt, Homeless Outreach Coordinator, provided the following updates:
• Showers have been running well and continue to have a good turnout. She has someone coming this week to donate their time to provide haircuts. • Someone came up here looking for resources that we don’t have available to them, so she helped relocating them back to Lodi where they came from and actually have access to more resources than we have.
• She helped a young person get into a rehabilitation center. • She had someone come in to use her office so they could get access to their weekly Zoom classes.
• She accompanied JPD in handing out “trespassing” passes for those under the bridge on Mission St., where these people will go will be a whole new problem to deal with. The issue they are creating now is what needs to be addressed. Mayor Stimpson asked whose property are they trespassing on, and Platt could not comment at this time. This was their 1st warning of trespassing. JPD will post more signs of “Private Property - No Trespassing”.
They will have to deal with the clean-up after to get it back to good condition. She will talk with Foothill Conservancy to assist with the clean-up and ACES will most likely donate a 50-yd dumpster vs. city works to do this.
Mayor Stimpson opened for Public Comment. After none, moved onto next item. b. Possible interview of applicants and possible appointment to fill a council vacancy.
City Manager Kimball said that following the resignation of former CM Riebe, Council directed to fill the vacancy by appointment. Staff advertised the vacancy and received two applications - Max Godde and Sierra Grandbois. Council can appoint one and the appointee will serve until the November election. Mayor opened it up for council questions. VM Gonsalves said that Ms.
Grandbois’ resume is very impressive. Other council members agreed. Mayor Stimpson asked Sierra Grandbois to come forward (to the podium) and address the council and the public. Ms.
Grandbois said she distributed her complete resume to council members and said that she was very interested in serving on council. She is an attorney, and her skills can be helpful for the city. Mayor Stimpson thanked her and agreed that she is an outstanding candidate. Mayor asked for public comments. Max Godde (via virtual participation) stated that he would like to be considered and talked about his work and life experience and him serving on Planning Commission and Cemetery Committee after his long career working for Jackson. Hearing no additional comments, Mayor asked for council’s pleasure. VM Gonsalves said that she was very pleased to see young people like Ms. Grandbois to apply and she wished that more young people could involve city governing. She went on to say that Max Godde has run in the election and gone through the process. It seemed that he would be a logic choice this time. She reasoned that city now needs stability and she believes Max can help with boosting morale. CM McLean agreed. Mayor Stimpson said that many council members started out serving on the Planning Commission and the Cemetery Committee. That’s what he did and how he ended up being appointed to the Council when former member Pat Crew was elected to County Supervisor. He added that there will be more seats open later this year and encouraged interested persons to consider running for council seats.
Motion to appoint Max Godde to fill council vacancy until December 2022, on March 14, 2022, as presented. Moved by Vice Mayor Gonsalves, seconded by Councilmember McLean, and carried by a 4 to 0 roll call vote:
AYES: Stimpson, Gonsalves, McLean, Simmons
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: None
c. Possible Contract award for the Amador St. Water Line Replacement Project and authorize the City Manager to execute documents [recommendation: award contract to the lowest responsible bidder: Campbell Construction].
Award contract for Amador St. Water Line Replacement Project. Public Works Bree Wilder gave an overview and said the project is very much needed and was in the FY 21-22 capital improvement plan and budget. City received three bids. Campbell Construction is the lowest bidder.
Mayor opened to public comments. Hearing none, he asked for council discussion. Council had no questions to staff.
Mayor asked for a motion and a vote. Motion was made to award the Amador St. Water Line project contract to Campbell Construction by CM McLean.
After the appointment vote, City Attorney Nelson Claire’s that CM Godde will be sworn-in at the next meeting and can participate in the meeting right after the ceremony.
Motion to award the Amador St. Water Line Project to Campbell Construction, on March 14, 2022, as presented. Moved by Councilmember Simmons, seconded by Mayor Stimpson, and carried by a 4 to 0 roll call vote:
AYES: Stimpson, Gonsalves, McLean, Simmons
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: None
d. Directions regarding a future meeting with Main St. Merchants.
Main St. Merchants meeting direction. Manager Kimball gave an overview. She said back in January she brought to council discussion that the city was suggested to host a meeting with the Main St. merchants. Following that discussion, the merchants formed their own Business Association. With this update, she wanted to know whether the city should still continue with the originally discussed meeting or opt to attend the Association meeting. VM Gonsalves said it’s exciting that the merchants are getting together. She felt that the city should participate in the association’s meetings because the city is a partner to them and should not run the meetings. CM McLean agreed and said he was very pleased to see the meeting minutes provided by the Merchants. It appears they are on a good track because what they wanted reflected council vision for Main St. VM Gonsalves also said that she received an email from Amador Council of Tourism saying that they are offering an online business promotion class.
She thinks the Main St. merchants should participate. Other council members voiced their support for the association effort. McLean wanted to make sure that he got invited to the Association’s meeting. VM Gonsalves said the same. Direction was given to staff to participate in the upcoming association meeting.
e. Possible adoption of Ordinance No. 723 amending sections of the Jackson Municipal Code updating references to the Vice Mayor, authorizing Amador County to enforce
Chapter 10.38 Abandoned Vehicle, and updating references in Chapter 17.86 concerning Lot Line Adjustment.
Adoption hearing of Ordinance No. 723, Clean Up ordinance. Manager Kimball explained that the introduction hearing was held at the February 28th meeting. This clean up ordinance proposes to clarify three sections of the municipal codes: Section 2 replacing “Mayor pro tempore” with “Vice Mayor”; Section 10, providing authority to Amador County to enforce abandoned vehicle abatement; and Section 17, updating references to lot line adjustment.
Mayor said that this is a straightforward ordinance, with only clean-up changes.
Mayor Stimpson opened for public comment. Hearing no comments, he closed the hearing and asked for council discussion and a vote. Council had no questions.
Motion to adopt Ordinance No. 723, on March 14, 2022, as presented. Moved by Councilmember Simmons, seconded by Vice Mayor Gonsalves, and carried by a 4 to 0 roll call vote:

Pulskamp is on the call tonight, but it wasn’t anything intentional, it was just a chuckle by everyone because they had just been hit by the same question and it was simply just a rumor with no means for disrespect.

4. REMOTE MEETING FINDINGS.

6. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS.
This section is to provide staff an opportunity to present oral status reports on issues. No legal action is expected to be taken by the Council.
Public Works, Bree Wilder
• The civic center roof project is going on and on Friday they oversaw a part of the roof to seal in preparation for the rain, therefore we had water all around the perimeter of the offices inside.
Worked with the contractor all day, they called in ServPro who placed fans throughout the offices. It was a bit of a disaster and quite chaotic for everyone.
• Looking at some of the other roofing they did to make sure everything will work out with the water underneath.
CM Godde asked Bree if there will be any permanent damage. Wilder stated no, water came down the walls and leaked onto the carpet. The contractor will be here tomorrow morning and have to pull off the coving and drills holes between each bay of the studs to get airflow in to dry the sheetrock.
ServPro will continue to watch to see if any sheetrock needs to be replaced and see what else needs to be done, all this will fall back on the contractor. Mayor Stimpson questioned Wilder if this will be monitored for mold in the future. Wilder answered they checked all moisture today; everything is laid out where the moisture is and will continue to monitor those areas. If it dries out to their specs within a certain amount of time, then we should be okay with mold. All this will continue to be looked at over the next couple of weeks.
Interim Fire Chief, Dale Fishback
• It’s been a calm, quite period last couple weeks, which we like to see. Nothing major to report. • On-going for the next month, some planning for controlled burn adjacent to the corp yard property where they worked at last year. They will probably take the same activity this year in that area to get our people some wildland training as well as some other agencies to help them out.
• In next month, they are working on a proposal for the replacement of one of our Utility vehicles in the near future as they have some funds set aside for that. • Their association had a fantastic success at Dandelion Days this year. Probably one of the best years they ever made such profitability for the event with money in the bank to support the department going down the road.
Mayor Stimpson asked City Attorney Nelson if they could use any TOT funding for raising money for the city. This would be to purchase, not a contribution, for supplies and such to raise funds.
Nelson said he would discuss with City Manager Kimball to confirm, but likely something we could do. Mayor said that the JFD put up $5,000 just in meat, overall expenses were around $10,000.
Nelson to look into this.
Police Chief, Chris Mynderup
• Dandelion Days had little issues as far as JPD. There were good crowds. Rain held off most of Saturday allowing him to help cook hot dogs and hamburgers out in Victory Village. It was a fun time cooking out there in uniform.
• The only issue they had with Dandelion Days, on Monday while they were taking down some of the equipment, a couple of the loudspeakers were left unattended in the Ledger Dispatch parking lot, and they grew legs and walked away. A police report was taken with not many leads. • The encampment under the Mission St. bridge will be addressed this Friday and cleaning that area up.
• Last Wednesday, our Homeless Outreach Coordinator, Christine Platt, and he drove to Sonora to meet with their Chief VanderWeil and Lt. Hannula, who wanted to talk with JPD about their Homeless Outreach Program. It’s nice to see a city that shares common issues with homeless and trying to minimize the impact on their community as well. We have all the resources and that is why we have the majority of the homeless in our city, likewise with Sonora. It was a great meeting, nice to have met them and look forward to working together in the future.
City Attorney, Josh Nelson
• The Governor today released an updated declaration of emergency for the drought. The Executive Order that was released requires urban water suppliers to move from Stage 1 to Stage 2 of their water shortage contingency plans which corresponds to effectively 20% reduction in water use. Importantly it does not apply to the City because we don’t meet the threshold to qualify as an urban water supplier. This is indicative of how our future water regulatory changes we will see from the state board and something we should keep our eye on going forward.
City Manager, Yvonne Kimball
• Nothing to report.
7. COUNCIL REPORTS.
This section is to provide Council members an opportunity to present reports on their activities and to request item be placed on future agendas.
Council member Simmons
• No meetings the last couple of weeks but did help the Lion’s Club in the morning at the Pancake Breakfast.
Council member Godde
• Attended the Cemetery Committee meeting. Committee plans to reach out to local organizations to help in preparing the Cemetery for the Argonaut Mine Disaster Centennial. Some of the projects include restoring some of the older headstones that are damaged, looking at ways to mark unmarked graves, and getting more crushed rock for the pathways.
CM Simmons asked how far forty (40) yards would go. Bree Wilder, Public Works, believes it covered the area of the Argonaut mine disaster section. Forty (40) yards does not go far with 3-4 inches. It looks great and the weeds have been sprayed.
CM McLean said he believes the Native Daughters was doing some work in the Cemetery and has someone with the expertise in repairing headstones and feels they would be a good contact to reach out to.
Council member McLean
• Attended the Chamber Commerce Board meeting. They have a new Chairman, Matt Toma. He learned that maybe there are some funds available for the newly forming Historic Jackson Business Association through the community foundation via Kathleen Harmon.
Vice Mayor Gonsalves
• Attended Amador Fire Protection Authority meeting. There was only one item on the agenda which was to pass the Measure M formula which all the Chiefs agreed. Formula passed and they decided to meet quarterly now.
Mayor Stimpson
• Nothing to report.
8. DISCUSSION CALENDAR.
For the record: Action minutes provide the necessary documentation of City Council actions and audio recordings are retained for those desiring more detail on particular agenda item discussion.
These audio recordings provide an accurate and comprehensive backup of City Council deliberations and citizen discussion.
a. Swimming pool discussion and possible approval of an agreement for Amador County Recreation Agency to run City’s 2022 summer swim program.
City Manager Kimball gave an overview. She said that for 40 years, Jackson was able to provide summer swimming programs under Martha Quinn’s leadership. Ms. Quinn started to recruit lifeguards and arranging for training in February each year. The City usually hires 6-10 lifeguards each year and provides swimming lessons which were very popular, lap swimming and recreation swimming during summer months from Memorial Day until Labor Day. The City’s net cost has been between $10k to $20k depending on how much revenue those programs generated. This year, Ms. Quinn will no longer be able to continue to run the programs. City staff looked into a few options. But only ACRA seemed to be a viable one. ACRA’s proposal is up to $35,000 to provide the same programs, which is a lot higher than City’s prior expenses. Kimball asked for Council direction.
Mayor Stimpson opened for Council discussion. CM Simmons asked if the fee includes maintenance of the pool. Kimball said, no, and clarified that City staff will continue to maintain the pool. Regardless of who will be providing the summer program, City’s pool will always see deficits. ACRA Executive Director Justin Howard was invited to speak. Mr. Howard said that “up-to” $35k covers personnel costs. This estimate is based on his experience with other pools in the county. ACRA provides similar programs annually for Sutter Creek, Ione, and Plymouth.
CM McLean asked if ACRA would offer swimming lessons and how the admissions will look like. Mr. Howard said they will; all pools in the county will be the same entry fees. CM Simmons asked about why the fee is so high. Mr. Howard said that $35k is on the high end and if the revenues are higher, which he thinks will be because Jackson is busier, then the actual fee will be lower. Mr. Howard added that the contract included language that ACRA will discuss with Manager Kimball as soon as the fee reaches $20k. Mayor Stimpson said that he thinks it’s critical to continue summer swimming programs, even though the cost is higher with ACRA.
VM Gonsalves directed her questions to the City Attorney Nelson. She asked whether the city could use the park-in-lieu fees here. Nelson said no, park-in-lieu cannot be used for operation and maintenance. CM Godde said how about a bigger pool? Nelson said yes, it can be used for a bigger pool. Park-in-lieu is a development impact fee and can only be used to pay for infrastructure upgrades that will increase the pool’s use. VM Gonsalves suggested that the city
should consider using the park-in-lieu fund to pay for a new filter and pump that is necessitated by a bigger pool. Mayor Stimpson ordered that Nelson and Kimball to think harder to make the park-in-lieu fund work for the needs.
Mayor asked for public comments. Hearing none, he asked for a vote.
Motion to move forward with ACRA agreement up to $35K, on March 28, 2022, as presented.
Moved by Councilmember McLean, seconded by Councilmember Godde, and carried by a 5 to 0 roll call vote:
AYES: Stimpson, Gonsalves, Godde, McLean, Simmons
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: None
b. Mid-year budget review and possible direction on immediate priorities.
Cit Manager Kimball gave an overview. She said the reports suggested that the city’s finances were behind in the first 6 months. The revenues were barely meeting the budget projections while the expenses were slightly higher. She was especially concerned because there have been a lot of staffing changes since February. She predicted that the year would finish with a deficit.
Mayor Stimpson opened council discussion. Hearing none, he said it is time to “trim some fat”. He also suggested that Kimball needs to meet with him and CM Simmons, the Finance Committee, to see what they can do. Kimball agreed, but also said that city staff has been frugal. Mayor Stimpson also asked whether this was a result of COVID. Kimball said no, but high inflation and high gas prices will impact the rest of the year. Kimball added that she will continue to monitor the revenues as it could have been a timing issue that caused delay in payments. She explained that she wanted to alert council of her concern because everyone has worked really hard the last few years to bring the fund reserves up and she was not sure if this year will continue that positive trend.
Mayor Stimpson asked for Public Comments and received none. c. Receive and discuss the recent water Total Trihalomethanes exceedance notice to water customers
Mayor Stimpson let Trevor Hoaas, Water Foreman, explain what is going on with the violation notice. Mr. Hoaas said that since January the sampling results indicated that the total Trihalomethane numbers were higher than the standard. The City worked with AWA and the State Water Board to resolve the issue. The City had to send out notices to customers even though the water is safe to drink because the amount detected was very small.
Mayor Stimpson opened for council discussion. CM McLean asked whether this would be causing a fine. Mr. Hoaas said the state might charge for their time to review extra reports. CM Godde clarified that there is no fine, but since staff must do more testing and the state will charge us for the additional review they have to do. Mr. Hoaas predicted that by December this issue will be under control, therefore no fine. Mayor Stimpson said that the city should send the bill to AWA since they treat the water and send us treated water with high levels of Trihalomethane. VM Gonsalves agreed.
CM Simmons said he liked how Manager Kimball and staff wrote up the letter and the responses to ABC Channel 10 inquiry. Kimball said that this issue had brought about public attention, including TV reporters. For this reason, she thought council should discuss it today. She affirmed what Mr.
Hoaas said about the water from AWA contains high TTHM while the only remedy the city has to do is flush our own distribution system. Mayor Stimpson agreed that this seemed unfair when the city is stuck with a violation. Other council members agreed.
Mayor Stimpson asked for public comments and received none.

The Building Department processed 30 total permits in March.
Jackson View submitted permits for the new round of houses on Goldstone Avenue and CSG is in the process of reviewing those plans. The permits will show in the building permit log below but the fees for those permits have not been collected yet. That also includes the ADU permit – as those plans are in the plan review process and have not been collected.
Encroachment permits will be included in the report now since they are being tracked in the same iWorq module with building permits.

Council Meeting Memorandum
Monday, April 11, 2022 – 7:00 PM Regular Meeting
To: Honorable Members of the City Council
From: Yvonne Kimball, City Manager
Date: March 21, 2022
Agenda Item #4h: Waive the charge to Laughton Ranch regarding the additional lease for January and portion of February
RECOMMENDATION:
Waive fee of $353.84
DISCUSSION:
From 2018 to 2021, Laughton Ranch held the lease to run cattle on the City’s Oro De Amador property. Their lease originally expired December 2021. Laughton Ranch was a contender for the new lease. Due to the rebid process, City was not able to decide on the new lease by December
31. Staff did not enforce the termination date of December 31 due to consideration of any inconvenience caused by the rebid process.
The process completed in January and Council awarded the grazing lease to the bidder who provided the highest lease amount. Laughton Ranch was not the highest bidder. I immediately sent out a 30-day termination notice. Laughton removed cattle accordingly. Staff has not invoiced Laughton for the additional 41 days of grazing beyond December 31, 2021. Those days would have been $353.84 under Laughton’s 2021 lease amount.
We seek your direction regarding the additional lease amount, especially considering the attention this matter has received. Should Council decide to waive it, it would not create a financial hardship.
On the other hand, the original lease stated the termination date of December 31, 2021 and additional 41 days of grazing was allowed to accommodate any inconvenience of the bidding process.

Council Meeting Memorandum
Monday, April 11, 2022 – 7:00 PM Regular Meeting
To: Honorable Members of the City Council
From: Yvonne Kimball, City Manager
Date: April 8, 2022
Agenda Item #7a: Oro de Amador actions: ECRG resolution, an update and provide direction on next steps.
RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council approve the submission of the ECRG and provide directions on next steps.
DISCUSSION:
In September 2021, the City Council had a discussion regarding the Oro De Amador property cleanup actions. At that meeting, Council directed staff to continue necessary Remedial Action Workplan (RAW) activities and also authorized $20,000 to pay for DTSC review work. At that time, DTSC had reviewed a 2016 RAW and was awaiting for an updated RAW.
Since then, City team met with DTSC team and submitted the 2018 updated RAW for review.
Staff anticipated minimal comments since the update focused on the cyanite seepage only. To our surprise, DTSC conducted a comprehensive review involving a full gamut of DTSC experts:
Project Manager and CEQA unit, the Toxic Unit, the Geological Services Unit, the Ecological Risk Assessment Section unit, and Engineering Services Unit. They all provided comments.
Following the comments, DTSC invoiced the City $21,894 for the review.
Not only does the City need to pay DTSC review invoice, City also need to address the extensive comments, which will cost another $30,000 - $40,000. I had made a considerable effort to dispute DTSC charges, however, to no avail.
I did learn (from EPA not DTSC) that DTSC offers an Equitable Community Revitalization Grant that the City may be able to benefit from. I quickly submitted the application by the deadline. If awarded, the City will be able to use the money to conduct reports that address DTSC comments, and other technical and community involvement work that relates to preparation of a cleanup plan. I applied for $320,000 investigation money in this cycle. The results are released in July.
Item 7a Oro de Amador actions
ECRG resolution, update and
direction
The ERCG also provides funding for implementation of a cleanup plan, which we can’t apply for until we receive the final approval from DTSC for the RAW. The ECRG program is a brandnew program since February 2022. It is similar to the EPA’s Brownfield grants except that ECRG is for California applicants only. Hopefully, we will have a better chance with ECRG.
Although not a requirement by DTSC, I recommend Council to approve a resolution rectifying the ECRG application and authorize future applications.
Regarding the cost to address DTSC’s comments, I’m gaining a proposal for the scope of work from the existing consultant. If we were to use the ECRG, we may need to issue an RFP before we continue the current contract. We will know more in July when the grant decision is made.
If we are not awarded, we can choose to apply next year, we can apply for Brownfield grant, or use local fund to pay for additional studies. Regardless of how we might pay for the studies, they must be done in order to gain DTSC approval; approval from DTSC on the final RAW (and additional studies) is a prerequisite before any actual reuse work.
It has been challenging to work with DTSC. Their expensive review fee continues to be a burden. Their lack of knowledge or lack of willingness to inform us of the ECRG fund was also disappointing. Your political pressure to call out DTSC’s bureaucracy would be appreciated.
In reality, unless the City has enough fund (several millions) at our disposal, the Oro De Amador reuse activities will be delayed again and again without financial assistances such as grants.
Grants are not always available. Jackson ends up being responsible for the costs. Jackson can’t do this alone as the property’s eventual reuse is to be shared by the region. The region needs to step up. Your advocacy to partnership with county and regional agencies for funding would be even more appreciated.
All said, while waiting for the grant, the City still needs to pay for the $21,894 DTSC review fee.
It can be paid out of the park-in-lieu fund.
For future needs, if we have the grant, then the grant can pay for additional studies that DTSC asked for and their oversight. Without grants or other agencies financial help, how much more Jackson local money/effort we want to put towards it? it would be helpful that Council provide some direction. Options can be: a) no more local money; b) some local money annually, such as $20k a year, while asking for support from the county, and ACRA and others; c) pay it all by ourselves which will bring the result or reuse faster.

ECRG Overview
California's 2021-22 budget authorizes DTSC to implement new programs to investigate and clean up contaminated properties in communities overburdened by pollution and provides funding over three years to implement them. These programs will prioritize protecting public health and facilitating the revitalization of overburdened communities.
DTSC’s Equitable Community Revitalization Grant (ECRG) will provide approximately $250M+ in grants for local governments, qualified 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organizations and Tribes to investigate and clean up brownfields through a competitive process. This unprecedented investment will create healthier, more economically viable and inclusive communities.

The City has been working with DTSC on the RAW review. We have initially submitted a draft RAW in 2018, then again in 2021. DTSC's review cost was at $44,000. $23,000 has been incurred as of February 2022. To respond to the comments by DTSC would need another study which would cost $20,00 0 to $40,000. Jackson is a rural community with MHI at $55,485, which is $10,000 below the county of Amador and $23,000 below the state. This investigation effort is too costly to bear.
The City has GeoCon as the Consultant to complete the RAW once funding is available.
The City is considering to work with the Serria Fund to help us with cleanup efforts. the City also has agreements with CSG, a multi-discipline firm to provide environmental advices The City Attorney is BBK.
The City Manager was hired in August 2017 and after a few years of getting familiar with the community, she is ready to lead this project to fruition.
The City Council is supportive of the eventual cleanup of the site.
The Amador County Recreation Agency, a regional JPA, is willing to partner and has identified the Oro site for future uses.
The city has a long history of volunteer support. Volunteers and citizens want to know when the site can be developed and utilized.

How does the proposed reuse address chronic inequities, resulting from lack of access to opportunity, and achieve equitable outcomes? Please describe in 3000 characters or less. (10 points) The location of the site is in the county seat. It is conveniently located in the center of the political and economical center of the county and the region. Those under served populations will be able to access the site easily. The county /region does not have any regional one-stop sports facilities. This project will change that.
The county's regional recreation agency does not have a permanent home and this project could change that.
Many seniors can access the site easily. Many low income families can access the site easily. The county majority population is lower income as it's MHI is below State average by $15,000.
The site assessment will lead to site cleanups that will provide improvements to public health and protection of the environment. The assessment is the next step in the community vision to reuse this property for recreational activities. The realities of the assessment results will enable costs to be planned accordingly. The information obtained from this assessment is the critical path item for the pursuit of recreational development of this property. In essence, the benefit is two-fold: Protect the public health with assessment of the hazards and development of a remediation plan - and create a recreational opportunity to improve the public health in the community.
According to the Park and Recreation Master Plan prepared by the Amador County Recreation Agency, there is a significant deficiency in parkland property within the City of Jackson and Amador County as a whole. This plan included an inventory of all available parklands within each jurisdiction. The City of Jackson presently contains only one community park and only one youth-size baseball field is developed at this 6.5 acre park.
The remainder of the site is a picnic area and a public swimming pool. The hilly topography of this location and mature trees on this property prevents any additional ball field development. There are no City owned soccer or multi-use athletic fields for youth or adult sports.
One of the areas the site assessment is proposed to evaluate is an area most dramatically affected by the previous mining activity on the property. This is the “tailings pile” area where processed gold tailings were deposited and leveled off. In a positive twist of fate, this flattened out area, where clean fill dirt has been placed for a cap by the previous owners of the property, provides a level area ideal for the development of active recreation such as fields for baseball/softball and soccer/football. Severe grading of the land, which is often necessary in the region due to the rolling foothill topography, will be unnecessary, thus minimizing any ground disturbance for the development of these recreation fields.

Agenda Item #7b: Authorization to reach out to local agencies for the Fire Marshal services RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council authorize the City Manager to proceed with seeking proposals from local agencies.
DISCUSSION:
The City is in need of fire marshal and investigation services. Fire Department personnel recommends partnering with a neighboring governmental agency that has the capacity to not only provide day-to-day services but also mentor JFD personnel to possibly grow into those roles in the future.
Staff recommends City Council to authorize the City Manager to contact surrounding public fire agencies to seek a proposal for the above outlined services. I will bring responses back to council in a few weeks and council can decide accordingly.
Suggested governmental agencies include the Cities of Ione, Sutter Creek (Fire District), Amador County Fire Protection District, and Central Calaveras Fire District (Mokelumne Hill).

Monday, April 11, 2022 – 7:00 PM Regular Meeting
To: Honorable Members of the City Council
From: Yvonne Kimball, City Manager
Date: April 8, 2022
Agenda Item #7c: Update on City Hall office water damage and direction of take necessary actions to remedy damage.
RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council provide direction to the City Manager to proceed with necessary actions.
DISCUSSION:
The City Hall has been undergoing the roof improvement project. During construction, the roof was not sealed properly before the March 27 and 28 rain events. As a result, the general office wing was flooded. Damages have incurred. Offices impacted are the City Manager’s Office, the Finance Office, the Planning Office, the Building/Engineering Office, and the Accounting spaces and possibly the general lobby area.
The incident has been submitted to the City’s insurance carrier and a claim has been opened.
Since the incident, staff has been working a variety of risk control professionals to assess the damage and plan for remedies.
It is likely that the needed repairs will cause inconvenience. In the event that the city hall offices need to be temporarily closed or relocated to allow repairs, staff will keep the Council and the public informed.
Once the damage assessment is complete, we will be able to determine the extent of the repairs.
Should the damages pose immediate risk to the public health, safety or welfare, remedial actions will need to be taken immediately. Municipal Code Section 3.08.030 authorizes the City Manager to take expedited processes to ensure immediate actions during such an emergency. If emergency remediation actions are taken, notice of those will be provided to the city council at the next regular council meeting after the purchase is authorized.
