• We are cleaning up for the 3r° of July show.
• The cemetery road base project has been completed and looks good out there. • The rehab project at the City Hall, from the roof leak, is on track.
Interim Fire Chief, Dale Fishback
• The prescribed burn schedule for 6/25 on the Oro De Amador property was canceled due to high temperatures, low humidity and a now planned in late fall, when the fuel is more receptive to a complete burn and the conditions are more likely to keep the burn within the containment.
• We have completed our firefighter recruit academy for the spring of 2022. We had four candidates complete the academy. Two of the four are joining and the other two are uncertain if they want to continue in the fire service. This was the first time we have run this type of academy and it was a learning experience. With this experience we hope to build on the next one.
• The department responded to a residential structure fire at 100 E. Sierra View on 6/23. The fire was contained to the attic area of the structure, but the interior did suffer major smoke and water damage. I would like to thank councilmember Max Godde for his efforts in the suppression. The fire was across the street from his home, and he was the first on scene attempting to extinguish the fire with his garden hose. • I would like to clarify some of the confusion on the Jackson Lions Club's planned July 3rd fireworks event. There was a lack of communication between the Lions and Fireworks America. The Lions Club had planned on having on field seating and events, but this was apparently not conveyed to Fireworks America. Fireworks America prepared and submitted their permit with designated launch sites and safety zones encompassing the entire field. By the time the permit reached me for approval the Lions Club was already advertising their planned events. When I noticed there was a conflict between the map and planned events, I contacted Fireworks America to see if we could do anything about the conflict and received a "no" answer. Their show would not allow anyone on the field. I then discussed the situation with the Lions Club representative, and they formulated a plan to move their activities to Detert Park and Aimee Field.

Police Chief, Chris Mynderup
• The police department is ready for the 3rd of July Fireworks Show sponsored by the Lion's Club. We understand there was a change in venue for the picnic, moving from the Junior High School to Detert Park. We will have extra foot patrols in the park. There will be a shuttle for spectators, that will pick up at Argonaut High School and drop off at Detert Park.
The PD will also be actively enforcing the laws concerning the use and possession of illegal fireworks.
• On Thursday, June 30th ', I will be attending a meeting, along with other County law enforcement department heads, at the CHP office. The purpose of this meeting is to meet the Cal Trans Homeless Encampment Coordinator to have a better understanding of their policies and to discuss multi-agency operations if they become necessary in the future. • On July 11t, I will be attending the monthly Historic Jackson Business Association's meeting and answering any questions the business owners may have.
