2 4. PUBLIC MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA.

Paul Jones offered prayers.

Tyx Pulskamp, Jackson resident, and four others, came to speak about the Out4MentalHealth Project. Tyx is the Out4Mental Health Task Force Lead. In 2019 he attended the CA Statewide Health and Human Services Conference in Sacramento which helped secure a grant and he learned from a contact that Amador County might be eligible to receive grants to help with the LGBTQ residents in Amador County. Tyx provided some details of the grant program. Sierra Wind Wellness and Recovery Center on Argonaut Lane in Jackson and the Youth Group that supports youth 12-18 received a grant of $43,000 by way of Amador Arts Council, because the Tri-County LGBTQ Mental Health Alliance is Amador/Calaveras & Tulomone, and the grant was specific to Amador County. He said that he is on the Board of the Tri-County LGBTQ Mental Health Alliance. He read a statistic, “While 69% of youth in urban areas have considered ending their lives, 80% of rural LGBTQ youth have thoughts of suicide.” The Out4MentalHealth Project is using the grant money to share opportunities in supporting LGBTQ residents with support to LGBTQ youth, adults and seniors, to live a healthy life by offering health care, counseling, and various other resources.

Jennie McFay, resident in Pine Grove, thanked Cal-Fire for saving our homes and neighborhood. She stated that their group is hoping to use some of the grant money to help LGTBQ people to get the mental health resources they need because there is so much anger and problems people are dealing with.

Out4MentalHealth is a state-wide project that advances mental health, equity and provides resources in LBGTQ communities and represents a collition voice in state level policy discussions.

Nicki Silveria, introduced herself as a school teacher and educator. Her heart lies with the youth. She said the 80% statistic that Tyx shared, , really hit her and she hopes to be making an impact with the LGTBQ youth to help with showing love and support.

Patrice Perro- introduced herself as a licensed marriage and family therapist and a Jackson resident, who is here to talk about the Public Behavorial Health system function. The Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) was passed in law by CA vote in 2004. One function of the MHSA is a community planning process and per legislation and regulations the MHSA community planning process must include participation of representatives in un-served and under-served populations and family members. Funding opportunities like the Out4MentalHealth grant, help marginalized communities to participate in the mental health community service process in order to ensure LGBTQ residents of Amador County are provided equitable mental health and public health services.

Tracy Duke- Speaking for Keith Parsons, who is not here. Tracy read a letter writted by Keith, as follows:

LGBTQ have problems getting health care locally. I’m speaking for the LGBTQ Community who have received different treatment in grocery stores, hospital and public events. I ask you to please strive to represent the entirety of this community with dignity and compassion.

VM Gonsalves commented on Mr. Pulskamp’s report. She said it seems like the grant money would be a good fit with the County agencies and the school districts and I’m sure you’ve already contacted them.

Good luck with your program.

Patrick Chew, -Fire Marshal for Amador Fire Protection District. Patrick said that his team is looking 5 of 80 5 of 80

Many agencies are doing Outreach, Behavorial Health, Rose Home and Victory Village.

Winter donations.

One of the homeless individuals that she helps with is doing well in re-hab and she has been working with him for the next steps.

She and the Chief are working on the proposal for the Homeless Housing Assistance Program round 3.

The proposal is to be able to hire a PT person to help her with all her work. This grant is funded through HUD.

She has been working with an individual that was staying at the Vista Point homeless encampment, as there is very limited housing available in this area, especially if you have an animal.

The City of Lodi just opened a low barrier shelter that actually takes animals. Ms. Platt is hoping to tour that location and see what a low barrier shelter looks like.

Tulomne County just got their approval to build a pallet community shelter in their county.

The Outreach program also looks for shelters close the unhused indviduals’ family and friends in order to bring them home.

NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: None
c) Resolution 2022-15 adoption of planning and engineering service fees (public hearing and possible adoption)
City Manager Kimball gaven an overview. She said city’s planning fees have not been updated for a very long time. Recently the City Planner Consultant changed, and the new firm’s rates almost doubled from years ago. As a result, City spent more in planning services but the cost is not being recovered by developers and project applicants. The shortfall initiated the need to examine city’s fees and it turned out very low compared to county and surrounding cities. She then worked on the proposed fees for council consideration.

Mayor Stimpson asked for Council input. VM Gonsalves said that she is not comfortable with the changes as they seemed to jump too much from the existing schedule. City Council discussed the proposed fee schedule.

Dalacie Blankenship, Finance Manager, spoke online about the deposits that the applicant is paying are for their project permit and that the staff processing costs have gone up, due to Consultant prices at this point.and therefore we need to raise the service fees. I would therefore support the passing of this. It will give the applicant a more realistic picture of what the actual costs will be for their project.

Sierra Grandbois, one of the Planning Commissioners for the City of Jackson, was online and requested to speak about the planning fees. She has experience from a previous job as a Real Estate Attorney. These fees are incredibally low. If you look at other cities, you are looking at a minimum of a $5,000 deposit for a project and then you have additional staff fees involved. I understand this is a really big jump for us to do, but the costs are still really low. I feel it is a reasonable start for us to move forward.

Hearing no additional public comments, Mayor closed the public comments. Mayor closed the public hearing and had additional discussion with council.

CM Simmons stated that fees are going up and that the deposit that the applicant pays to move forward on their project, is just the beginning of the costs. There are additional costs involved and it would be good to give the applicant a more realistic cost.

City Manager Kimball, clarified that the proposed fees are deposits. The actual cost for a project will be billed once the deposit is exhausted.

Mayor Stimpson remarked that we do need to catch up with the present fee structure, but we need to do the fee raise in a paced plan in order to get the fees more up to date. He stated that we need to look at all the fees that the City charges and make a plan to analyze them consistently each year, so that we don’t have a big jump in the future.

7 City Manage Kimball was asked if this includes the building fees. She said that the building fees have been looked at that more recently, in 2019. She clarified that the proposed fees are for the Planning Department projects.

Mayor asked the City Council if they were ok to tabling this discussion to have at a future meeting, with next time having comparison information to review, in order to discuss and make a decision. The Council agreed.
d) Funding authorization to pave Shopping Dr., Vukovch Way- (possible use of TOT funding and other general or special funds) [requested by Mayor Stimpson] Mayor Stimpson gave an introduction regarding the bad condition of the road. He said he has been approached by several people that it impacts. The Holiday Inn and the Jackson Cinema (that is in the works of reopening). The road in disrepair is hurting both the Hotel and Cinema.

VM Gonsalves responded that we are dealing with commercial entities that this road services and we do collect tax dollars from each of them. My opinion would be to resurface the road, but stop it as it goes up to Shopping Dr. because we have more city streets that are in worse shape that need to be fixed. She asked how much the resurfacing is this going to cost?
City Manager Kimball responded that Public Works Supervisor, Bree Wilder, got quotes. One estimate says Vukovich Way to Clinton Rd. is about $99,000, which takes it back out to the back side of the theatre.

Mayor Stimpson stated that he had discussed the funding options with City Manager Kimball. The options are TOT money and ARPA.

City Manager Kimball explained that the TOT is the Council’s discretionary money and TOT is for purposes of economic development, and we currently have over $500,000 in the TOT fund. Holiday Inn is a major contributor to the TOT fund and they are on Vukovich Way. The second possible funding is from the American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) which is given to municipalities and counties, by the Federal Government as part of the COVID rescue plan. The City has 1.1 million dollars that we have to use in the next 5 years and we haven’t spent any yet. This economic development project would be an approved use for some of the money. We could always use the general fund or SB1 (money) which we have a priority list based on the PCI (Pavement Condition Index).

The Council discussed that they would suggest using both ARPA and TOT money to do the paving of the road. VM Gonsalves and CM McLean are suggesting that the split be 70 or 80% ARPA and the rest from TOT.

Mayor Stimpson asked for any public comments.

Lana Vukovich, Jackson resident and business owner asked- how many bids the city received for the paving and the cost of each bid? She added that road hasn’t been paved in 40 years, so it’s really bad, but she realized that there are many roads in Jackson that need to be paved.

Bree Wilder, PW Superintendent, responded that we only have 1 bid right now, just to see what the ballpark estimate would look like. We do need to put out an RFP for other bids, but we need to get 3 bids and make a decision quickly, as the price fluctuates quickly. 10 of 80 10 of 80
Jackson City Council Agenda Monday, August 8, 2022
8 Mayor Stimpson requested that Bree put out the RFP. CM McLean agreed and mentioned that an ad hoc committee for this would be good.

At this point, CM Godde spoke. He recalled that when he was in Public Works, working with Bree for few years, the dept. spent a lot of time looking at all the roads in the city and putting together a report.

In 2015 Vukovich Way was listed at 56 on the PCI index. 100 being like a brand new road and 0 being nothing but gopher holes and dirt. Vukovich Way is in the middle of the PCI index. Shopping Circle is at

21. The city has a lot of roads that are worse, but if we have money that if we don’t spend it we lose it, then maybe we should be looking at what other options that money should be put towards.

VM Gonsalves asked City Manager Kimball if we already had other projects that were on the list for the ARPA money? Do you have a staff committee, that maybe one or two of the Council Members could be a part of that conversation?
City Manager, Kimball responded. She said that we had a department meeting and drafted a list of needs that we could spend the money on, but that total came out to be $3 million dollars. We are making revisions, but at this point, all department agreed on the need to put $00,000 on the street sweepter for the city. She added that she will discuss this with the Finance Committee which includes the Mayor and CM Simmons to come up with a ranking of proposed expenditures Mayor Stimpson requested of Manager Kimball to set up another Finance Committee meeting with CM Simmons, Manager Kimball and himself.

Discussion items only, no action will be taken. Any person may address the Council at this time on any subject within the jurisdiction of the City Council. Please note – there is a three (3) minute limit. • Paul Jones- Offered prayers.
• Dwayne Keckley, President of American Legion Post 108 motorcycle riders- He said he discussed the Veteran’s Parade special event permit with the Police Chief. He requested funding from the City to fund the event. He said the Legion usually spends about $6,000 each year to put on this event and I would like to ask if the City Council can help with the porta-potties and Ledger advertising costs. Mayor Stimpson responded that it sounds that the request is about $1,200 and that he feels that the Council would probably be able to help with that. Mayor directed the request to be added to the next meeting agenda.
• Vice-Mayor Gonsalves stated that she and Chief of Police Mynderup and I have been in correspondence regarding a camper that has been on City property a long time. VM Gonsalves asked Attorney Nelson and PD Chief Mynderup, if there is any type of ordinance that the City can impose on the public property for no more than 72 hr. parking? Attorney Nelson responded that he’s looked at anti-camping ordinances and the 9th Circuit came down with the Boise decision, which prohibits us from banning those. We did a modified ban at certain important infrastructure areas, last year. Chief Mynderup responded, the City has the72-hr. ordinance, but sometimes PD tries to help individuals out. At this time, the Dept. is trying to help this individual out by getting his van out of there. Chief Mynderup gave more details of the individual and his situation and said that the city can impose the 72-hr. ordinance if the Council chooses. The individual is a citizen of the County. Attorney Nelson suggested to avoid un-agenda discussion, this issue can be added to a future agenda.
• John Georgette, Jackson resident, said he’s here regarding the Pitt St. bridge. He referred to CalTrans inspection reports. (Mr. Georgette brought copies to the Mayor and Council Members). He continued, that at the November 20, 2021, Council Meeting, the Council was requesting the City Engineer to bring back some options to fix the bridge. Mayor Stimpson stated that the City Engineer is looking to see if they can keep the same look of the Pitt St. Bridge. Council directed to add this to future agenda for discussion.
• Atul Patel, the owner of Holiday Inn Express in Jackson. He said, his hotel collects a lot of TOT funds for the City. A few years ago, he had requested the City to consider repaving Shopping Dr. which is adjacent to our property and it’s also common access for DMV and the Jackson Cinema.

He continued, that he just purchased another property on the circle, and will develop it into 6-8 multi-family properties, which will bring more residents and more revenue to the City. He urged the City to pave Shopping Dr. and take care of all city streets as it creates a nice environment for everyone.

• Things have been relatively quiet for the last few weeks. • We still have our engine 6331 out on a strike team, it should be returning to us tomorrow. They have been out 15 days now, working 12hr night shifts.
• CM Simmons talked to Jim Guidi recently, who stated that he was concerned about the tower where we usually burn. CM Simmons asked the Fire Chief if we are going to be able to burn this year.

Chief Fishback replied, we aren’t going to look at that until October. I’ll have Jesse go take a look at it, but we haven’t seen it as a threat.

Police Chief, Chris Mynderup
• 8/10 attended an 8 hr training on Senate bill 2, which is the new certification/de-certification that 14 of 80 14 of 80
Jackson City Council Agenda Monday, August 22, 2022
4 begins for police officers on 1/1/2023. All brand-new officers will have to be certified by post and they will need to be certified by their probation period, which in Jackson is 18 months. Officers can be de-certified for serious misconduct, which is defined as dishonesty, abuse of power, physical abuse, sexual assault, demonstrating bias, acts that violate the law sufficiently egregious or repeated, participation in a law enforcement gang, failure to cooperate with an investigation with police misconduct and failure to intercede. This will go into effect 1/1/2023 and we will have 10 days to report any conduct that is defined above. I’ll keep you apprised at how this new system works. • Last week we sent 2 reserved officers to their 2-year post mandated perishable skills training. Topics can include hazardous materials handling, CPR/First Aid, driving skills, firearms, domestic violence updates, tactical communication, and defensive tactics. They successfully completed that that those officers are with their post mandates.
• We had a meeting with Linda Gonzales regarding the Argonaut Mine Disaster Centennial Event activities are planned in the City and we will providing traffic and crowd control for the ceremonies planned at the cemeteries and the Main St. Amphitheater. We are aware of the bells that will be ringing this Saturday evening and hopefully the City will get lots of notice out to the residents.

City Manager, Yvonne Kimball
• Regarding the Argonaut Mine Disaster activities, Public Works told City Council that they are coordinating in the ceremonies and City staff has been working to promote the event. City has also published the press release for the event on the city website. • City Hall is going to be closed on Friday, September 9th, Monday 12th and maybe Tuesday 13th, due to moving back to our original facility. The phones and emails will not be available. The public can use the drop box..
• A citizen, Chet Moody, has reached out to me. He has sent me a heartfelt letter to express something that happened 39 years ago, in 1983. He has requested that we include the letter in the meeting minutes. I had agreed to make mention of it in the meeting tonight.

City Attorney, Josh Nelson
• The Legislature’s deadline to pass bills for this legislative cycle is the end of this month, so September/October we will have an idea of what bills of interest are moving forward and I will report this to the Council.

6. COUNCIL REPORTS.

This section is to provide Council members an opportunity to present reports on their activities and to request items be placed on future agendas.

Council member, Simmons
• I have no report.

Council member, McLean
• I attended a Chamber of Commerce event at the Kennedy Mine. • I attended the Amador/Tuolumne Community Action Agency meeting. • I missed the Chamber of Commerce Board Meeting, as I was up north at other meetings.

Council member, Godde
• 8/10 I attended the Jackson Cemetery meeting. The meeting was basically talking about preparing for the 100th year anniversary of the Argonaut Mine Disaster. I wanted everyone to know that this 15 of 80 15 of 80
Jackson City Council Agenda Monday, August 22, 2022
5 Saturday, August 27 is going to be our next clean-up, starting at 8am, at the Jackson cemetery.

Also, the headstones for the unmarked graves have been ordered. • I attended the Chamber of Commerce meeting. They discussed different ways for them to improve Chamber involvement in the County, like possible SBA financial forums, help restaurants with Health Dept. compliance and such. The next Chamber Mixer will be at the College Connect Building, which is across the street from the bowling alley on Sutter Hill.

Vice Mayor, Gonsalves
• I attended to the activities with the Fire Safe Council and included Fire Chief Fishback and Captain Greathouse on some projects that the Fire Safe Council is doing, which will encompass some of the Jackson properties for another fuel break that will help with the Kennedy Field break that we have done before and watching out for proper Jackson. I’ve shared all that correspondence with the Chief today and hopefully that this is something the department can be of assistance with or at least be aware of. The Fire Safe Council, with the fire wise communities, extends to the Running Gold subdivision. It will encompass about 8 acres and it was supposed to be a $100,000 grant thru PGE, but it wound up being a $25,000 grant, so the project was scaled back to approximately 8 acres and Jackson will definitely benefit from it.

Mayor, Robert Stimpson
• No report.

7. DISCUSSION CALENDAR.
a. Possible adoption of Ordinance 726 Adding Chapter 17.28 to Title 17 of the Municipal Code Relating to an Expedited, Streamlined Permitting Process for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (possible adoption of ordinance; first hearing on August 8, 2022) City Manager Kimball stated that this is the 2nd hearing and recommended adoption of this mandated ordinance.

Mayor Stimpson asked for any public comment. Hearing none.

Mayor asked for a motion.

Motion to approve adoption of Ordinance 726, adding Chapter 17.28 to title 17 of the Jackson Municipal Code Relating to an Expedited, Streamlined permitting process for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations on August 22, 2022, as presented. Moved by Councilmember McLean, seconded by Councilmember Godde, and carried by a5 to 0 roll call vote:

Jackson City Council Agenda Monday, August 22, 2022
6 Budget for FY22/23
3) Resolution 2022-18 Authorizing Positions for FY 22/23 City Manager Kimball gave an introduction. Some highlights: we will continue to see a surplus in the General Fund. Public Safety is always going to be a priority. Both the PD and FD are both getting new vehicles, which are funded by special funds or grant funds. Under the general fund, the insurances keep going up and some are doubled. We can balance the general fund.

Staffing costs also included a few new positions: Permit Technician for Building Dept., PT Administrative Assistant and 1FT Firefighter (under the measure M fund). There’ll be a 5% COLA increase for employees on January 1, 2023.

Utility fund- the sewer fund is doing well. The sewer rates are a 3-year cycle which will expire 6/30/2023. The City will need to consider a new rate study and modify the rate.

The water fund is not as solvent, as we had hoped for. Many reasons led to it, including the drought and an AWA rate change.

Moving on to the pool fund, no matter who is doing the managing, the pool fund is not self-sufficient, which requires a General Fund subsidy.

Regarding the special funds, Kimball said the City has a lot of grant funded projects. Grants require a lot of work by staff. City Manager Kimball is thankful for the City Council, Citizens who attend the meetings and give their input and to all the City of Jackson staff.

Mayor Stimpson asked for any public comment, in person or online. None heard or seen, the Mayor asked for a Motion.

Motion to approve adoption of City Council Resolution 2022-16 Setting an Appropriation limit for FY 22/23, Resolution 2022-17 Approving the City Operation Budget and Capital Improvement Budget for FY22/23 and Resolution 2022-18 Authorizing Positions for FY 22/23 on August 22, 2022, as presented. Moved by Councilmember Simmons, seconded by Councilmember Godde, and carried by a 4 to 1 roll call vote:

AYES: Stimpson, Godde, McLean, Simmons
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: Gonsalves
Note: Vice Mayor Gonsalves, who was on the video conference, had connection issues and was unable to vote on the below motion.

Agenda Item 7d: ACUSD school site consolidation plan and traffic impact Recommendation:

That the Council receive an update and provide possible direction.

Summary and Discussion:

At a recent Amador County Transportation Commission meeting, the potential impact of school site consolidation plan was discussed. The consolidation plan could impact traffic pattern in Jackson.

CM McLean represents City at the ACTC board and requested this discussion with the Council.

Enclosed is the material presented to the September 1st ACTC Board meeting, which is very informative.

Agenda Item 7e: Resolution 2022-21 Vukovich Way ownership Recommendation:

That the Council accept the resolution.

Summary and Discussion:

Recently there have been requests to pave Shopping Dr. A proportion of Shopping Dr. is also known as Vukovich Way. Vukovich Way connects to the loop portion of Shopping Dr.

While considering the requests of paving, the ownership of Shopping Dr., Vukovich Way and the loop was brought to our attention.

In 1978, City Council abandoned the loop portion of Shopping Dr. as provided by Ordinance # 409 (see attachment 1). At the same time in 1978, City Council appeared to accept Vukovich Way.

However, the recorded Parcel Map dated in 1978 was unmarked whether the City chose to accept Vukovich Way or not (see attachment 2).

City’s maintenance records seem to support the ownership assumption that the loop is not owned by the City while Vukovich Way falls within City’s responsibility.

Out of abundance of caution, it was recommended that City Council adopt a resolution to assert its acceptance of Vukovich Way ownership. Resolution 2022-21 is hereby prepared and presented.

Described
WHEREAS, on September 5, 1978, the City Council of the City of Jackson (the “City”) adopted Ordinance No. 409, whereby the City abandoned that certain real property (the “Loop”) more fully described in the Ordinance, attached hereto as Exhibit “A” to this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, on or about September 5, 1978, that certain public street connecting to the Loop, previously known as “Shopping Drive” and today known as “Vukovich Way” (the “Property”), was the subject of a gift deed by its then-owner Daniel Barnett (“Grantor”) and;
WHEREAS, on or about its September 5, 1978 meeting, the City Council approved Resolution No. 959 to formally accept the deed from Grantor to the City as to that connecting to the Loop (the “Property”); and
WHEREAS, since that time, the City has provided maintenance services to the Property, including street striping, potholing, and related activities associated with ownership, and generally operated as though the Property had been accepted by the City; and
WHEREAS, in an abundance of caution and some missing records, the City Council wishes to formally accept the Property; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Jackson as follows:

1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated as though fully set forth herein.

2. The Property is hereby accepted by the City.

3. The Mayor is authorized to execute any and all documents necessary to consummate the acceptance of Grantor’s interest in the Property on behalf of the City.

4. This Resolution is effective upon its adoption

Agenda Item 7f: Sutter St. Stormwater Drainage Situation Recommendation:

That the Council receive a condition update of the existing drainage pipe, support combining DTSC Argonaut Dam pipe and City’s existing pipe into one Summary and Discussion:

Staff wish to discuss with the Council the condition of the Sutter St. stormwater drainage pipe condition. The pipe is in need of work, especially the portion underneath Hwy 49. This project does not have a designated funding yet.

In the same location where the city’s existing pipe is, DTSC has planned for a separate drainage pipe as part of the Argonaut Dam retrofit project. The project’s estimated cost was $1 million for design and $3.5 million for construction. Upon completion, the City is expected to assume ownership and maintenance responsibility. At city’s request, DTSC is looking into the option of consolidating this pipe with the existing pipe. City staff can discuss the advantages of the onepipe solution.

Staff recommends that Council supports staff’s position of one drainage pipe.

Attachment: The figure depicts the general locations of two pipes. The green line represents city’s existing stormwater pipeline. The blue line represents DTSC proposed drainage line. 79 of 80 79 of 80
