Public Works Superintendent, Bree Wilder – absent.
Interim Fire Chief, Dale Fishback
• Completed annual ladder testing on all ladder equipment. • Captain Greathouse procured three (3) vehicles for auto ex training. Last week they trained tearing apart cars, getting new people trained on the jaws of life and other various tools they use and techniques. Some of the recruit classes were able to participate and get their first hands experience.
City Council Minutes – April 11, 2022 Page 3
• Captain Greathouse and he put a plan together to meet with the community at Rollingwood for their emergency preparedness team and will make sure to attend their monthly meetings.
Police Chief, Chris Mynderup
• On April 1st they cleaned up the Bridge at Mission Blvd/Hwy 88. Sincerely thanked city departments and community members as they could not have completed this with out their help.
Publicly thanked: Jeff Campbell, Campbell Construction, for donating the use of a backhoe loader operated by Jeremy Olivetto; Councilmember Chad Simmons [Simmons Landscape] and his crew; Aces Waste for the donation of two (2) 20 yd. dumpsters; District 5 Supervisor Candidate, Amy Waterswhite; Bree Wilder, Public Works Superintendent and entire Public Works crew; Jackson Fire Department; Outreach Coordinator, Christine Platt and her brother, Don Evans, and the Jackson Police Department. A total of 3.91 tons of garbage was removed from under the bridge. It was cleaned up two times prior with the 2nd clean up just in February of this year. Unfortunately, the weight was not recorded on the first cleanup, but figures it was about the same amount. This totals around 5 tons of garbage in one area. Kudos to everyone that helped and could not have done so without them.
• Last Tuesday, April 5th, he had a meeting with Probation Chief Mark Banini, Sheriff Redman, District Attorney Todd Riebe, Asst. District Attorney Sherry Adams, Social Services Director Ann Watts, Behavioral Health Director Melissa Cranfill to discuss the creation of an adult multidisciplinary team that focuses on those individuals that have been a drain on agency resources due to repeated contacts, extensions, siting, arrests, for either mental health or substance abuse issues. Asst. DA Adams presented her involvement with Stockton PD’s law enforcement Assisted Diversion Lead program which is aimed at reducing those arrests and reducing the length of detentions and reducing repeating encounters. This is to get those folks that they deal with on a daily basis fast-tracked into services or whatever they need. They are looking into Stockton’s PD program, maybe pattern county program similar to that. It is in the beginning stages with more work to do. He put Christine Platt in touch with members from Sheriff’s Heart Team and couple members from the Probation department to come up with 5 individuals that need immediate help, in which they have been able to do that. • This Thursday, April 14th, he will be attending a Coffee with a Cop function at Starbucks from 4- 6 p.m.
Council member McLean thanked Chief Mynderup, staff and everyone who helped clean up under the Mission bridge. It was a great job done by all. He was also called regarding the location at Hwy 88/Vista Look Out if this was city or county and the amount of trash produced from the homeless on the hill. Chief Mynderup was told that there is 4 stage process now for CalTrans has to go through. This is due to a homeless individual was killed during a clean up by CalTrans. Mayor Stimpson mentioned that Ryan Gillespie was talking about having another new program and working with JPD.
Council member Chad Simmons inquired if there were homeless under the bridge by the First 5. Chief Mynderup answered there will be no homeless there. He worked with Bree, Public Works, and posted “No Trespassing” signs.
City Attorney, Josh Nelson
• Update on pending Legislation. They will be watching Bills that will potentially move through the Legislature this season. Two (2) worth noting will make changes to the Brown Act requirement by attending by teleconference. One of the reasons that Council decided to continue making the remote meeting findings is the flexibility to provide you where you can call into a
City Council Minutes – April 11, 2022 Page 4
meeting without having that location accessible to the public and listed on the agenda. These two bills pending would make that law going forward even past the pandemic and AB361 is tied to the State of the Emergency, regardless of sunset 2024 this will make it permanent. It is too early to know if either of these bills or which one will move forward, but both are in the Assembly of local government committee and will keep a watch on them.
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
• Helped with the Mission bridge clean up. After he realized they could get a tractor down under the bridge area, he suggested maybe getting larger stone up to the enbutment, about 5-6 ft, and take it all the way down to deter people away completely. The South side would have to be hand carried and get a few volunteers to help. Vice Mayor Gonsalves questioned if this had to go through Fish & Wildlife. CM Simmons said that it would not get into the water and didn’t think it would matter and it would help with erosion in that area.
Council member Godde
• Did not have any meetings last week, has 3 scheduled this week. • Met with City Manager last week, brought him up to speed on current events.
Council member McLean
• Attended the Airport Land Use Commission meeting.
• Chaired the Amador County Transportation Commission meeting and the Amador Transit Meeting that followed. They did approve the Jackson Creekwalk Grant Application. This sets the stage for the City getting the funds approved. This comes with a $30K price tag that is coming through ACTC. This is good news on the progression of the Jackson Creekwalk project. • He and City Manager, Yvonne Kimball attended the newly formed Historic Jackson Business Association meeting at the National Hotel. Very positive and energetic people with a lot of great ideas. Hope they take baby steps to get some things accomplished. Yvonne made good points along these lines. Do some things to make tangible changes, small not big, and go from there.
They are ready to work which is a good thing.
Vice Mayor Gonsalves – nothing to report.
Mayor Stimpson – nothing to report.
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.
City Council Minutes – April 11, 2022 Page 5
a. Resolution No. 2022-08 Approving Application for the Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) Equitable Community Revitalization Grant (ECRG) for the Oro de Amador Remediation Actions [possible approval of Resolution, receive an update and provide direction on next steps.
Manager Kimball gave an overview. She said the city has been working on cleaning up the Oro de Amador property for a regional sprots complex. The first hurdle is to obtain approval from DTSC for city’s Remediation Action Workplan (RAW). Their review costs a lot of money. Last September, the Council directed to submit the RAW to DTSC and okayed $20,000 for this review. City sent RAW to DTSC and was surprised that DTSC review cost almost $22,000. It was an extensive review by a variety of DTSC experts. It would require another study.
Kimball added that she disputed DTSC charges and learned that there was a grant the city can apply for that may be able to deal with future DTSC fees. DTSC’s ERCG is like the Brownfield money from EPA. She said she applied for $320,000 of ERCG and needed the council to approve the application through resolution 2022-08.
She also said that the RAW will continue to cost city a lot of money. She encouraged City to reach out to ACRA and Amador County for financial support as the Oro project as a regional project.
Mayor Stimpson said he would like to have a meeting with DTSC folks about DTSC’s unreasonable charges. Other Council members agreed.
Hearing no public comments, Mayor asked for a motion to approve Resolution No. 2022-08. .
Motion to move forward with Resolution No. 2022-08 to approve the application for a revitalization grant, dated April 11, 2022, as presented. Moved by Councilmember Simmons, seconded by Vice Mayor Gonsalves, and carried by a 5 to 0 roll call vote:
AYES: Stimpson, Gonsalves, Godde, McLean, Simmons
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: None
b. Possible direction to the City Manager seeking proposals from neighboring governmental entities for Fire Marshal services.
Manager Kimball said in meeting with the Fire Department, it was determined that it makes sense to partner with a local fire agency for the fire marshal services. Staff recommends reaching out to a few entities. Mayor Stimpson asked Acting Chief Fishback for comment.
Fishback said partnering with local agencies would be more convenient and hopefully less expensive.
Mayor Stimpson opened the discussion to the public. Patrick Choo, Fire Marshal AFPD, spoke about AFPD’s willingness and professional capacity to help Jackson. Council members Simmons and McLean asked Mr. Choo’s experience pertaining to training other firefighters to be certified.
Mr. Choo said he has been setting up trainings for firefighters all over the state to get certified.
City Council Minutes – April 11, 2022 Page 6
He uses facilities that near Amador County which would be convenient for this area. Chief Walt White, AFPD, also expressed interest in submitting a proposal to help Jackson’s Marshal services.
Hearing no more public comments, Mayor asked for a Council action. VM Gonsalves wanted to make sure that the City Manager will work with the Fire Department personnel to select an agency. Mayor Stimpson said he’d like to keep this within Amador County. Council Member Simmons said he would like to keep this within the county, but Mokelumne Hills fire district is closer than Ione, so he is good to send the request to Mokelumne Hill. CM McLean agreed.
Direction is given to the City Manager to send out requests to neighboring agencies of Ione, Sutter Creek, Amador County Fire District and Central Calaveras (Mokelumne Hill) Fire District for fire marshal services.
c. Receive an update on City Hall office water damage situation and provide direction to proceed with necessary remedial actions.
Manager Kimball said that during the roof repair, the contractors forgot to seal a portion of the roof. A couple of weeks ago, overnight rain flooded city hall offices. Immediate actions to dry up the offices have been done. City filed a claim with city’s insurance firm. The firm recommended additional testing in order to assess the extent of the damage. Once the scope of damage is defined, decision will be made on how to remedy the situation. She pointed out that the offices may require emergency repairs.
VM Gonsalves agreed with Kimball’s approach to file a claim with city’s insurance firm. Mayor Stimpson asked whether the city offices need to be relocated to the civic center. Kimball said unknown at this point. Mayor Stimpson asked whether there is an expenditure limit to emergency repair. Kimball said not in this case as this will be an insurance claim for something that city did not cause. By consensus, council provided direction to the City Manager to proceed as necessary.
8. REGULAR MEETING ADJOURNMENT.
Mayor Stimpson adjourned the meeting at 8:06 p.m.

CM Godde questioned an item in the Expenditure Report, Check #14564 to Sierra Hydro for $13,900, Operation and Maintenance of stream gauge. CM Godde questioned what exactly this was for and guessing it was for the Wastewater plant. Manager Kimball stated she will get the details and report back to Council.
Vice Mayor Gonsalves posed a question on the Engineer’s Report regarding Pitt St. Bridge replacement. It was confusing when Weber Ghio spoke with CalTrans Right of Way staff and that the City needs to have the property reappraised. CM Kimball stated there was confusion on the Pitt St acquisition. A few years ago, if Council recalls, the city did an acquisition for a Right of Way for a sliver of land. It was her understanding that it went through the whole process. Last week she was informed by the Finance Department that the title company was not able to record that acquisition through the real estate process. The house, 416 Water St., had been sold whereby the ROW transition did not go through. With that said, the city would have to re-start the ROW process through the new owners. The escrow on the home did not complete. The house was purchased, it was the city’s portion that we were trying to acquire from the prior owner did not go through. VM Gonsalves asked if, the house sold and the property sold, wouldn’t this be part of an escrow transition covered by title insurance. Manager Kimball said she asked about this, but the city engineer discussed with CalTrans and this was end result. Kimball stated she would follow up and get a memo out to Council.

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. Introduction and first reading of Ordinance No. 724 Adopting Police Department Policy No. 706 Military Equipment Policy in accordance with Assembly Bill 481. [Recommendation: Waive first reading].
City Attorney explained that this is a state mandate regarding military equipment that is owned by local agencies. We are required to initiate the adoption process by May and the adoption must be held at a public hearing. Vice Mayor Gonsalves asked if Council had any questions. Council member McLean said how much this mandate cost us. Chief Mynderup explained that the city only has 4 rifles. The rifles were acquired through an excess military equipment program. They
Council Meeting Minutes – April 25, 2022 Page 5
cost a few dollars each. The maintenance has been minimal as well. The ammos are market price.
VM opened it to the public and received no public comment.
Motion to introduce Ordinance No. 724 and waive first reading on April 25, 2022, as presented. Moved by Councilmember Simmons, seconded by Councilmember Godde, and carried by a 4 to 0 roll call vote:
AYES: Gonsalves, Godde, McLean, Simmons

ABSTAIN: None
b. Introduction and first reading of Ordinance No. 725 Amending Jackson Municipal Code Section 17.40 Landscape Standards to Adopt the State of California’s Model Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance. [Recommendation: waive first reading].
City Attorney explained that this is another state mandate. AB 1881 has been effective a long time. It imposed a set of water efficient landscape regulations and provided a model ordinance.
The City was able to implement state model ordinance by default in the past. Earlier this year, with SB 1383 regarding organic waste in place, we need to adopt the MWELO into city’s municipal code. So, this is a cleanup process. Vice Mayor Gonsalves asked if Council had any questions. Council member Simmons said the ordinance has a lot of requirements for landscape work, how the City plans to implement all. City Manager Kimball said that the MWELO has been in place many years ago and City has been implementing the requirements by default.
Adoption of the new ordinance would not impose new restrictions. Attorney Nelson added that he can work with staff to make sure the MWELO is implemented. CM McLean pointed out that enforcement may be a challenge.
VM opened it to the public and received no public comment.

City Council Staff Report
Date: May 9, 2022
Application Type: None
Proposed Project: Appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision Appellant: Laguna Gold Mortgage; broker
Gary Cranfill; property owner
Property location: 104 Broadway, APN 020-292-001
Description
The appeal is in regard to the city’s Planning Commission decision on April 18, 2022, to deny applicant’s appeal to the Planning Commission by upholding the decision of city’s planning staff for the requirement of a Use Permit application in order for the subject property to be utilized by the potential new owner.
On March 28, 2022, the buyer of the property, Mr. Lon Stromned - general manager of Valley Sober Living, requested that the city provide a written approval from planning (and or the city manager), in order to proceed with the purchase of the property [a formal request for Issuance of Zoning Clearance would have been required - if the request could have been processed - per Section 17.72.030(B) of city’s municipal code].
On March 30, 2022, city planner’s decision was based on a request by the buyer pertaining to a new proposal - of a supportive housing - for the subject property. The property's zoning is "C" (Commercial), and a grandfathered single-family dwelling is an allowed non-conforming use in the C zoning district. The proposal is to utilize the location for supporting housing. On that day, the city planner reviewed the inquiry and made the decision based on the available records followed by interviews with other city staff members (three) for the history of the site in order to be able to render a decision - with a conclusion that the property has been vacant for a number of years. Staff concluded that in order for the proposal to proceed, a Use Permit application approval is required for the new supporting housing usage of the property.
Staff, in reply to the applicant, on March 30th provided that:
Our records indicate that the existing structure was built as a single-family dwelling. Your proposal results in intensification of the use, unless you provide recorded documents that the residential use received a zoning change approval by the city for a multi-family usage.
Pursuant to City of Jackson Municipal Code Section 17.130.030 Restrictions on Nonconforming Uses and Structures - specifically under non-conforming uses and associated Table 6-1, page 641, the Nonconforming Use by use (line 3 of the Table) - indicating that the intensification for the use is not allowed, in addition to "The rights provided
Item 7c 104 Broadway Appeal
under the nonconforming status would terminate if the use were discontinued for a minimum period of 180 days."
We have concluded that the house was vacant for more than six months, hence the expiration of the nonconforming use, even if your proposal was going to include using the structure as a single-family dwelling without any intensification in the land use. Therefore, the subject proposal could be allowed by fulfillment of a Use Permit planning permit process which, upon approval, would allow a residential use in a Commercial zoning district [Section 17.12.020(D) of the Muni Code].
The city planner’s decision was appealed to the planning commission on April 7, 2022, by Mr. Ron Regan of Laguna Gold Mortgage and the property owner Mr. Gary Cranfill - within the time limitations of the appeal period of 10 days (Municipal code Section
17.140) from the time of the decision rendered. The associated appeal fees were submitted on that day.
The City’s Planning Commission, at their regular meeting on April 18 2022, reviewed the proposal, considered city planner’s staff report and staff presentation, provided the appellant to present the appeal and provide nexus to the appeal, allowed for comments by the public, and upon internal discussion decided to uphold staff’s decision to require a Use Permit for the proposal [by a unanimous vote of 3 – 0 (one recused and one vacant position)]. The appellant appealed the Planning Commission’s decision to City Council on April 22, 2022 – with compliance with the aforementioned Municipal Code for appeals (17.140) and with submitted required fees.
Environmental Review
The appeal is not subject to an environmental review as it is considered a ministerial project, as defined by California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines.
Conditions of Approval
Not applicable.
Findings
Not applicable.
Action
The City Council should review the staff report, consider staff’s presentation, allow the appellant to present their appeal, and render their decision to approve Planning
Commission’s decision to require a Use Permit application and process for the proposal - as described in the staff report, or approve the appeal and allow the utilization of the existing house for the new supporting housing usage of the property without the Use Permit requirement.
Attachment
Appeal received on April 22, 2022, filed by Laguna Gold Mortgage, Inc. / Commercial Real Estate and Finance, on behalf of the property owner Gary Cranfill.

Monday, May 9, 2022 – 7:00 PM Regular Meeting
To: Honorable Members of the City Council
From: Yvonne Kimball, City Manager
Date: May 5, 2022
Agenda Item #7d: Amador County Recreation Agency membership fee increase and other programs.
RECOMMENDATION:
Annual membership fee increase - council pleasure.
One-time After School Program funding – discontinue.
DISCUSSION:
ACRA has been an active partner and committed to enhancement of recreation opportunities.
ACRA Executive Director requested to increase membership fee from $5/person to $6.50/person. This would mean additional $7,126 a year for Jackson. We currently pay $23,000 a year.
ACRA has received approval from Amador County. ACRA is subject to the joint power agreement which stipulates that fee increases will require all members approval. Jackson is the county seat and a service center. Our needs and priorities may differ from County, other cities, and ACRA itself.
In another ACRA funding request - the afterschool program, it was evident that differences exist.
Earlier this year, ACRA approached Jackson to pay for ACRA staff to run an after-school program at the Scout Huts. Council awarded ACRA up to $7,000 to try the program until this school year (end of May). ACRA started the program at Jackson Scout Hut on March 21, waiting for kids to show up; but has not had any participant. I was made aware of this last week when the request for membership fee increases needed attention. While Council agreed to provide a dollar amount to ACRA, Council also expected participation in the program to justify for the expense.
Since there has no participation, I recommend Council direct ACRA to end the program and its cost burden on city.

Membership Fees
Good morning,
I would like to ask for your support of a membership fee of $6.50, which will allow ACRA to provide a higher level of value for its members. The membership fee of $5 was set in 2009, thirteen years ago, and at the time the fee went much further is our operation than it does in 2022. I will provide a few main supporting causes for this increase and how it will benefit both ACRA and all members of the JPA. - Wages and Labor
ACRA is staffed heavily by part time/seasonal/entry level workers throughout the year paid minimum wage. In 2009 minimum wage was $8.00, and we are now at $15.00 minimum wage. Alongside entry level position, this increase will also allow us to entice and hire quality managerial roles.
Inflation
After a conversation with the county assessor’s office, using the CCPI (California Consumer Price Index), we reached an approximate inflation rate of 33.4% from 2009 until 2021.
` Member Benefit
By supporting this increase, you are allowing for more hours, more programs, events, and access to recreation in your community.
I plan to continue to create new and innovative recreation programs throughout the county and I am excited to continue to grow our relationship between our agency and your jurisdiction.
Kind regards,
Justin Howard
Executive Director (ACRA)

Subject: 2022 ATP Application
To Whom it May Concern,
The City of Jackson is partnering with the Amador County Transportation Commission (ACTC) to submit this application for the Jackson Creek Walk and City Connectivity Project to be funded through the Active Transportation Program. The City Council fully supports the application, appreciates the opportunity and ACTC’s vital contribution.
This letter documents our intent to assume responsibility for ongoing operations and maintenance of the creek walk, should this funding request be awarded, and the project constructed. We will also be dedicating local fund toward its ongoing maintenance. The local fund includes the general fund and special revenue fund. The city currently has a general fund budget of $4 million. We receive about $89,000 a year in the SB1 fund. If you have any questions, please contact me at 209-223-1646.
Sincerely,
Yvonne Kimball
City Manager

Item 7e ACTC Partnership
[Please place the statement below on school letterhead] To Whom it May Concern:
I represent [School Name] in Jackson, California, which is not on a school closure list at this time.
We are excited that the Amador County Transportation Commission (ACTC) is pursuing funding to improve multi-modal connectivity in Jackson, making it safer for people walking, bicycling, and driving. We fully support this application for funding from the Active Transportation Program (ATP). The project will create a safe walking and bicycling connection across SR 49 into downtown, as well as to the east towards multiple neighborhoods and the Sutter Amador Hospital.
Our school community will benefit from the improvements proposed in this funding application because more students and families will be able to safely and comfortably walk or bicycle to school and other destinations. This supports healthy, active lifestyles, and children who walk or bicycle to school arrive more focused and ready to learn.
We feel this project is particularly important because it addresses several barriers to active travel for our community. The project will result in safe connectivity across both SR 49 and SR 88, two high-speed and high-stress roadways that bisect Jackson. These crossings prevent many community members from walking or bicycling, and the project will allow people walking and biking to cross under the roadway safely. As an educator and a school administrator, I am excited that students, faculty, and the community members will have a safe and enjoyable way of staying active and being outdoors once the creek walk is completed.
I support the Amador County Transportation Commission’s application for Jackson Creek Walk and City Connectivity Project and hope you will recommend it for funding. Please contact me at 209-257-5700 if you have any questions.
Best regards,

Re: Jackson Creek Walk and City Connectivity Project ATP Cycle 6 Application To Whom It May Concern:
[agency name] We are excited to see the Jackson Creek Walk and City Connectivity Project being moved forward in an application for Cycle 6 of the Active Transportation Program (ATP). We fully support this application.
The Creek Walk project has been a local priority for a number of years, creating a key link between Downtown Jackson and destinations to on the opposite side of State Route 49. Currently, pedestrians have one marked but uncontrolled crosswalk to cross State Route 49, a high-speed roadway. Many people park on the west side of SR 49 and walk to destinations in downtown Jackson, and there have unfortunately been numerous serious injuries and fatalities in this area.
The project will also provide additional connectivity between downtown Jackson and destinations to the east, including Sutter Amador Hospital. Together with the Creek Walk project, this new connection will allow low-stress travel for people walking and bicycling along most of the City of Jackson from west to east.
We applaud the City and Amador County Transportation Commission for taking action to provide lowstress connectivity in Jackson with this project, connecting key destinations such as retail and restaurants, schools, and medical facilities. This project will allow residents and visitors to travel by bicycle or foot safely and comfortably across the city, increasing the safety of all users and encouraging more people to choose healthier transportation options.
This project has the potential to transform Jackson into a more walkable, bikeable community, setting the stage for future multi-modal improvements. We are pleased to support this application to the Active Transportation Program and encourage your support of this worthwhile project. Please contact me at 209- xxxxxx if you have any questions.
Regards,

To: Honorable Members of the City Council
From: Yvonne Kimball, City Manager
Date: May 5, 2022
Agenda Item #7f: Authorization of property insurance procedure to remedy City Hall office water damages which necessitates a deductible.
RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council provide authorization for the City Manager to proceed with the claim which requires a $25,000 deductible.
DISCUSSION:
As reported a few weeks ago, the east wing of City Hall endured water damages during the recent roof construction project.
The incident has been submitted to the City’s insurance carrier and a claim has been opened. The last couple of weeks staff has been working a variety of risk control professionals to assess the damage and plan for remedies. The initial damage assessment and the scope of remedial work have been completed. City’s insurance carrier recommends that remedial work begin immediately. Under a property insurance claim process, City is responsible for $25,000 deductible once the work begins. It is possible that the deductible will be reimbursed eventually through the subrogation process.
To abate all damages, the entire east wing will need to be vacated. Staff and service locations will be relocated to civic center temporarily. With Council’s authorization, staff will prepare to proceed with relocation as soon as possible. It will take two or three weeks to complete preparing the new workstations and vacating east wing entirely. The entire remedy process will take a couple of months. During that time, the city hall east wing offices will be closed to the public.
Most services should be able to continue at civic center. It is anticipated that it will be inconvenient for the general public, customers, visitors and employees.
