5. 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 Superintendent, Bree Wilder – Thanks to councilmembers, fire department, and police department for their support and availability to assist public works crews during the flood. On 12/30/22, one of the sewer lift stations at the high school was taking on so much water that the two pumps running simultaneously couldn’t keep up. Two public works guys were there pumping sewage and dumping it throughout the night into the next morning. The public works small crew was very busy and kept up with everything the best they could. Thanks to the public works crew for their hard work in keeping the sewer water in the plant. There was something like 6 million gallons of water per minute flowing, and a few changes were made on the collection side and water is being reduced slowly.

Interim Fire Chief, Dale Fishback- Thankful to fire department, police department, and public works for communicating and working together as a team in the middle of the night. 59 calls received over the weekend into this week. 80 hours’ worth of volunteer hours booked along with paid staff hours in the week. Multiple calls for flooding, as well as trees and power lines down, and even a fire. Fire truck one has been out of service for five months and hoping to have it back in service in the next few weeks.

Year end report: Between 2021 and 2022, fire department was down four call differential, so a very steady pace between the two years. Response level was down by almost one personnel per call due to a little lack in volunteers this year. Thanks to those who made it to the Fire Association dinner. Two awards given: Mike Jones / “Most dedicated firefighter of the year” for making the most calls throughout the year as a volunteer, and Ashley Anaya / “Firefighter of the year” for being overall the most improved, most dedicated, and valuable person on the volunteer side last year.

Mayor McLean relayed thanks to Chief Fishback from Sasha at Sasha’s Place on Main Street for help on her electric power breakers and identifying the problem.

Police Chief, Chris Mynderup- Thanks to public works for amazing work on clean up with limited/shorthanded crew during the flood. Civic center was opened for any potential evacuees, and public recognition for Mike Brewer for running this shelter. Utilized by a couple people, including an elderly gentlemen from 401 Clinton that was rescued (along with his cat) from floodwaters, and he was eventually moved to the County OES shelter to be introduced to Red Cross. January 4-5, 2023, most of sworn staff participated in active shooter training conducted at Argonaut High School campus. Thanks to the Sheriff’s department for hosting nearly every law enforcement agency in the county, as well as

January 9, 2023 City Council Meeting Minutes
fire and medical responders. PD is prepared as a county should a critical incident ever occur at one of the school campuses. During the torrential downpour, PD was able to track down a suspect stealing mail from people’s mailboxes- the officer was able to recognize the reported vehicle from the previous day resulting in arrest. Recovered mail from about 30 different victims (mostly from the south end of Jackson Scottsdale area.

City Manager, Yvonne Kimball- Longtime resident, Mary Jones, passed away and her funeral was this morning. She and her family has directed any donation to go to the City of Jackson Detert Park. Thanks to the family.
[Moment of silence held at direction of Mayor McLean for Mary Jones.] City Attorney, Josh Nelson- Nothing to report.

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.

Councilmember Gonsalves- Appreciation and thanks to all City departments for working together very well during the recent storms, recognizing the shorthandedness and limited resources. She attended the Fireman’s dinner and thanks for invitation.

Councilmember Godde- On December 19th, 2022, he was able to meet the newly elected State Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil at the County building and asked her to keep in mind this area needs help taking care of our creeks. Requested to keep the state funded creek crew going, and the creeks are a lot bigger than what this little city can handle. Thanks to public works, fire, and police. Social media posts about the storm showed public works, fire, or police either protecting public property or helping people with private property.

Councilmember Stimpson- Also met with State Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil and had a good meeting.

He was personally affected by flooding as well. He also helped All Power Brokers at their building with rock/mud removal. It may need public works assistance.

Vice Mayor Simmons- Attended Fireman’s dinner.

Mayor McLean- Attended Amador County Transportation Commission and Amador County Transportation Agency meeting. Caltrans has Raise Funding Program with a deadline of February 28th, 2023 for application and will follow up with City Manager Kimball. Tried to attend Jackson Business Association meeting with Councilmember Godde on Main Street, but it was cancelled this month.

Mayor McLean said he did some work with some of the merchants on Main Street cleaning out the basement underneath the building next to the National Hotel. He reported that they had lots of flooding and he helped to move out some of the equipment and antiques. He missed the meeting with the Senator and will be following up at the State Capital to seek support for creeks.

7. DISCUSSION CALENDAR.

January 9, 2023 City Council Meeting Minutes
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 discussions. These audio recordings provide an accurate and comprehensive backup of City Council deliberations and citizen discussion.

Public Comment on impact of flooding and severe storms:

Virginia Manner, President of Jackson Creek HOA, read a prepared letter requesting city county work together and declare emergency for the winter storm so that impacted residents can possibly get help from state and federal levels. She also urged the city to have a plan for future events (letter attached).

Debbie Rosengarten, Treasurer for Jackson Creek HOA, maintains that State mandates that minimum funding 10% of dues collected is in reserve, and the HOA is at their minimum and has no extra funds to support flood damages. Took extra funds during dry season and shored up gabions, sprinkler repairs, and replaced and capped lines to save money. 75% of her community is over 70 years old. Do not have funds between 15 units/residents on site (small community). Field backing up to property rezoned as high fire recently, increasing their fire insurance, an expense that had to be passed on to residents on limited incomes. Seeking help from the city and FEMA to replace their mud filled pool and repairs along creek.

Aurora Hicks, Homeowner in Jackson Creek HOA, said she is a 25-year resident and widow. Her garage was flooded along with step down living room. Her flood insurance has a $5000 deductible which is high for her on retirement income. Hoping FEMA can assist.

Mayor McLean provided a letter from Beau Gillman of Matich Vukovich Insurance Services regarding flood damage. The letter requests assistance from the City of Jackson, State and Federal assistance, and/or FEMA funds for Jackson residents effected by the flooding of Jackson Creek who are largely not covered by their homeowner/renter insurance. Preventative measures to reduce the risk of damage is also requested as a more permanent solution moving forward (letter attached).

Gerald West, resident attending remotely on Marcucci Lane, home was flooded and believes it could have been prevented if clog in drain had been cleared.

Jeremy Badgis, 341 South Ave., Thanks to the police during the flood for help with saving mom (Mary Hite) from creek. Concerned about upcoming rainstorm with potential for more flooding. Presented an idea to potentially use a water pump to jump the bridge at Denny’s Councilmember Stimpson clarified he may be referring to a type of lift station.

Jesse LaVielle, Resident on Stark Lane, said he is a veteran. He and eight of his friends (including Matt Riebe, previous councilmember) cleared the blocked bridge with a Jeep on their own, preventing his home from being flooded. Seeking proactive solutions to flooding by the city. Stated his story is on the front page of FOX 40 news. Complaint about metal plate on bridge on Stark Lane being noisy when vehicles drive over.

Mayor McLean inquires about bridge schedule to Matt Ospital/City Engineer. Matt advises there is a bridge replacement plan. Mayor McLean advised they are seeking FEMA money to help resolve the issue.

Page 7 of 47 ends

January 9, 2023 City Council Meeting Minutes
Mary Emde, resident at 425 South Ave., said he lives alone, is retired, has no insurance, is physically incapable, and seeking FEMA and city help.

Bree Wilder, Public Works Superintendent, reminds public sandbags are available at Jackson Corp yard with bags and provided address.

Anne Upshaw, identified herself as landlord to 345 South Ave. She said she was lied to when she bought the property and was told not to worry about the floods. She had tenants sign addendums acknowledging flood possibility. But last week’s storm, her tenants were evacuated by Fire. She had to evict them due to damages like mold, leaks. She requests assistance now and asks for a date.

Mayor McLean empathized and advised State of California is facing similar questions regarding Highway 99 and Dillard Road, and could not predict the impact of the storm even with their vast resources and money. Governor Newsom issued a State of Emergency after Amador County adopted County’s proclamation first. The impacts we are experiencing are happening all over the state.

Vice Mayor Simmons inquired about South Avenue bridge, and if it is first to be addressed. He wanted to know if French Bar will be raised first and then South Avenue and whether a plan with Corps of Engineers can be talked about to possibly increase size of the levy. Matt Ospital/City Engineer clarified South Avenue will not be raised but will be widened.

John (Jack) Georgette, resident on N. Main, requested clarification from resident Anne Upshaw regarding if it was a real estate agent who told her not to worry about the creek. Anne advised it was the realtor, and John advised he does not believe anyone in the city would ever dismiss that creek.

Matt Ospital, City Engineer, advised that the Bridge Replacement Projects plan started in 2010 and is awaiting funding from Caltrans for French Bar soon. He added that bridges are not necessarily the problem, but rather the amount of water and debris hitting an area that we all know is in the FEMA floodplain. There is a map available that shows the 100-year floodplain runs right through the city.

Councilmember Gonsalves reminds the public that government money takes time. She also mentioned state government has been wanting to close the hand crew at the Pine Grove youth camp that cleans the creeks every year. Bree Wilder advised it was cut from 3-4 crews to one 14-person crew this past season.

Robert Dalton, resident 440 South Ave., remarked that we need to identify a project, get the resources to do it, and come up with a reasonable plan. He believes the city does not have the power to do that and the County ought to take care of it.

City Manager Yvonne Kimball advised that the rough estimates for damages due to recent storm/flood are approximately $2 million for the city owned properties and $3 million for private properties, with more data to be updated. These figures will be combined and provided to the county which can request funds from the state. The process takes time. She then added information to provide some perspective.

She said the city has approximately 30 employees, with only 6 employees working in Public Works.

Kimball recalled that she sent the Public Works Superintendent home after the third day of working with minimal sleep due to support being provided to the city during the storm. Councilmembers were also out in the community physically helping citizens in need and all available personnel and resources were

Page 8 of 47 ends

January 9, 2023 City Council Meeting Minutes
working very hard to assist wherever they could. Regarding property taxes, to provide perspective, Kimball provided the following example- if a person owns a $500k home in Jackson, paying approximately $5k in taxes, then the City of Jackson only receives about $80. City’s property taxes revenues are inadequate to solve all issues in the manner being requested.

Due to time constraints, the following residents expressed similar concerns, emotionality, and sought funds/assistance and boots on the ground support from the city and FEMA regarding flood/severe weather damage:

Mike McCrory (resident at 20 Marcucci Lane).

Steve Simmons (resident).

Ed Jones (resident).

Ralph Clark (resident).

AYES: McLean, Simmons, Godde, Gonsalves, Stimpson
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: None
b. Receive, discuss, and provide direction regarding (verbal) report from the Homeless Outreach Coordinator regarding the City’s response to homeless issues.

Christine Platt highlighted the success of one homeless resident who has recently obtained employment and housing. There was a remembrance day for the loss of another one of her homeless clients recently. The impact of the recent flooding fully washed away an entire encampment and people living there lost everything. Efforts were made late into the evening to provide support, resources, and shelter to people experiencing homelessness in their time of need.

Mayor McLean asked for public comment on this topic and no public comment was received. c. Possible feedback/direction from Council on Mayor suggested initiatives [verbal presentation by Mayor McLean].

Mayor McLean briefly touched on the plan to begin the Beautification of Main Street. Other councilmembers wish him luck and reminded him of potential challenges to get consensus from everyone on Main St.

Mayor McLean asked for public comment on this topic and no public comment was received. d. Possible authorization to utilize the private sewer lateral SEP fund (Fund #246) to investigate and repair portion of Main St. sewer line.

Manager Kimball gave an introduction, explained the SEP fund was due to a penalty imposed by the Regional Board. The fund must be used to repair privately owned sewer laterals. She also gave a background of how the fund was used so far and recommended to use the remainder for a

sewer lateral problem on Main St. Councilmember Simmons agreed that portion on Main St. needs to be dealt with.

Mayor McLean asked for public comment on this topic and no public comment was received.

CITY OF JACKSON
Council Meeting Memorandum
Monday, January 23, 2023 – 7:00 PM Regular Meeting
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Yvonne Kimball, City Manager
Date: January 20, 2023
Agenda Item # 3d: Street Sweeper Authorization
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council order sweeper as presented in the bid, using the ARPA fund.

DISCUSSION:

In 2021/2022, the City received a total of approximately $1.1 million ARPA fund. Departments submitted expenditure requests that amounted to around $3 million in total. No ARPA fund has been spent to date. The delay was partially due to supply shortage coupled with the hope of better pricing led by lowering inflation. One of the agreed upon expenditures is a street sweeper with an estimated cost of $380,000 in 2022. The sweeper is frequently used to clean the city’s 46 miles of roads. The current one was purchased in 2002. It has served the city well; however, its mechanical deficiencies are now beyond repair.

In meetings with the Finance Committee, it was recommended to proceed with pre-ordering a sweeper as soon as possible given the long waiting period for any heavy equipment to be available. Upon research, as well as an informal and a formal invitation to bid, we received a few responses: one bid through the formal process and three informal quotes. The formal bid by Terry Equipment Inc. meets our needs. The bid presents a Global M3 model totaling $313,326.63, including tax and freight/registration, with key features including 3-wheel mechanical gutter broom and pickup broom, and a 5-cu yard hopper. Terry Equipment Inc. is a Sacramento distributor that offers parts and future maintenance services.

At the Finance Committee’s direction, staff recommends that Council authorize the order of the above-described sweeper, utilizing the ARPA fund.

AMADOR FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
810 Court Street, Jackson California 95642-2132 (209) 223-6391 January 19, 2023
Honorable Mayor Steve McLean & Vice Mayor Chad Simmons
And fellow Council members
City of Jackson
33 Broadway
Jackson, CA 95642
RE: Annual Fire Inspection Report Per Senate Bill 1205
(Report to Council)
California Senate Bill 1205 (SB 1205) was signed into law in late 2018, effective January 1, 2019, adding additional reporting requirements to existing state law related to mandatory annual fire inspections. The law was enacted following the tragic Oakland Ghost Ship fire in December 2016 and a Mercury News article in June 2018 that underscored the importance of mandatory fire inspections by local agencies.

State law already specifies that all fire departments that provide fire prevention services must conduct annual inspections of every building used as a public or private school and every hotel, motel, lodging house, and apartment house in accordance with Sections 13146.2 Through 13146.4 of the California Health and Safety Code.

The new law, effective January 1, 2019, states that fire departments must report to its city council yearly demonstrating its compliance with the mandatory annual inspections in accordance with the State Health and Safety Code. This law also provides that the city council must acknowledge receipt of the information by resolution or other similar formal document.

Within the City of Jackson, most with the exception main street have been completed. I should have all the mandated occupancies inspected before the end of this fiscal year 2022/2023. The unusual weather we are experiencing has slightly delayed the continuation of conducting mandated inspections.

Respectfully,
Patrick Chew, Fire Marshal
CC: Chief Fishback, Interim Fire Chief
Chief White, Fire Chief, AFPD

Item 4

That the City Council acknowledge city’s donation of $5,000 and discuss the program, modify as necessary.

DISCUSSION:

Jackson is perhaps the hardest hit city in Amador County in the last round of winter storms. In response to the winter storms, city council members have been actively engaged in the community and providing a variety of assistance to impacted residents and businesses. On January 9, 2023, the City Council declared a state of emergency and continued to lobby county and state officials to ensure resources get directed towards Jackson.

Shortly after the January 9, 2023 declaration, upon continued dialogues with regional leaders, Mayor McLean suggested to me that the city make a donation to the Amador Community Foundation’s (ACF) disaster recovery fund. In this partnership, Jackson’s monetary contribution will be combined with donations from other organizations and individuals in a form of a "Disaster Relief Fund". The fund is to provide immediate financial assistance to individuals impacted by winter storms.

The City Manager traditionally has a funding authority of up to $5,000 in discretionary expenses that benefit the city. Upon discussion with the Mayor and the Vice Mayor, I have authorized a donation of $5,000 to ACF. A check has been issued and the expense has been incurred. With our contribution, ACF’s disaster relief fund has a total of $12,500. ACF utilizes St. Vincent de Paul’s expertise to run the assistance program funded by the relief fund. Eligible individuals or families can receive gift cards for food, supplies, or utility payments.

The disaster relief fund information has been posted on the City website, distributed to the city’s notification system, and made available on social media pages. I would like to thank Council for your generosity and ACF for the amazing partnership.

Page 23 of 47 ends

Item 6a
The disaster relief fund is one of the many disaster response programs that the city is administering. Other programs include the following: sandbag site, care package distribution (care packages provided by Amador County EOS), and private property damage data collection (forms are provided by EOS). It is truly incredible to be part of the county wide collaboration and many private/public partnerships that are all aimed at helping the community in need.

RE: January 2023 Flooding in City of Jackson (South Ave.) Properties in the Jackson city limits south of SR-49 between South Avenue and SR-88 were subjected to severe flooding along Jackson Creek during the heavy rains that began on December 31, 2022. Flooding inundated the easterly right-of-way limits of multiple State and privately-owned properties along South Fork Jackson Creek and within Caltran’s SR-49 right-of-way. Moreover, most of the impacted residents in the affected area are economically and/or socially disadvantaged.

The South Avenue area has been a concern for flooding for many years. Existing records indicate that the South Avenue “floodways” did not exist in 1960. When Highway 49 was relocated to its current location it encroached into portions of the old creek limits. Due to the relocation and accumulation of sediment and vegetation over the years, the area at South Avenue has become extremely prone to flooding.

The City of Jackson has faithfully maintained a creek vegetation removal schedule each year, utilizing local resources and connections. Although our efforts reduced flooding risks, they were not permanent solutions and could not meet the demands of a significant event such as the current one. For a permanent remedy, the City Engineer recommends the creek’s cross-sectional area be adequately increased to the level necessary to meet the needs of projected hundred-year storm flows without overwhelming private property.

These improvements will provide a permanent remedy to flooding risks. However, they will require state resources, as the cost far exceeds our city’s reach.

All above information, including the ongoing flooding concerns and recommended mitigation measures has been conveyed to Caltrans in the past. The plea for help has yet to be answered. Given the current declarations of disaster at all levels of government and the loss that occurred, we implore Caltrans to answer our call for help and take action to protect vulnerable populations and properties from being flooded again.

We look forward to the support and cooperation of Caltrans, which will be key to successful flood mitigation in this area. An early planning meeting between Caltrans’ staff and the City of Jackson should be scheduled as soon as possible. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to me directly at (209) 233-4646 ext. 101.

Kit Carson Mountain Men Wagon Train
Amador County “Days of 49”
April 26 – 30th, 2023
3 of 7
Event Description
We are pleased to have the opportunity to respond to your Request for Proposal for Tourism and Business Promotion, Economic Development and Downtown Revitalization Program. Specifically requesting funds from the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), for use by the Kit Carson Mountain Men Wagon Train and the Days of 49 Celebration for a one day event to be held in Jackson on April 30th, 2023.

The requested dollars are in addition to the wagon sponsorship that the City of Jackson has continuously provided since 2014. This request is to establish a one day street event, with an enhanced parade, living history programs and entertainment.

As this is an informal request, outside of the normal process time, I hope to demonstrate the worthiness of the event and the acute planning provided for its success.

Background
Since 2014 the Kit Carson Mountain Men Wagon Train and Days of 49 Celebration has brought Gold Rush history alive in charming, historic Amador County.

This April, 2023, the colorful Kit Carson Mountain Men (KCMM) will rendezvous for their 9th annual living history wagon train re-enactment through the Gold Country. The Wagon Train travels through Amador County over 5 days, providing an opportunity for families in communities along the Highway 49 corridor to see authentic covered wagons and visit with the horsemen and women at encampments and stops along the way. There are several venues along the route (Amador County Fairgrounds, Italian Benevolent Society and Laughton Ranch in Jackson) where the Days of 49 Celebration provides music, food and living history programs. Each year the event concludes Sunday with the Wagon Train Parade on Main Street, Jackson.

As you may be aware from my past attempts (squashed by the pandemic), we are very interested in reviving the “Kiddies Parade”, which was a big part of the former Days of Kit Carson event held from the 1940’s until the 1970’s. We are planning Main Street closure with entertainment, living history programs, vendors and maybe a petting zoo or pony rides to enhance the experience.

As from the beginning, we strive to continue making the event open and free to the public.

Your support and approval of the TOT dollars will greatly assist with the numerous tasks required to make the Days of 49 Celebration and Kiddies Parade successful.

Thank-you for your consideration in the Kit Carson Mountain Men Wagon Train and the Days of 49 Celebration, celebrating early California’s Pioneer and Native American heritage.

Proposed Schedule of Activities – Days of 49 Celebration and Kiddies Parade, Sunday April 30, 2023 9:00 am Pancake Breakfast, sponsorship TBD
Pre-parade street entertainment (Shoot-out Gangs, skits) 10:30 am “Kiddies” Parade begins
Parade ends with the KCMM Wagon Train – stopping on Main St. for 20 minutes 11:30 – 3pm Street celebration with music, living history programs, vendor activity Noon Parade Awards Ceremony
3:00pm Main Street re-opens to traffic

8) Additional Funds/Matching Monies
For the past three (3) years the Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort have generously agreed to support the Days of 49 Celebration and Kiddies Parade. Unfortunately each year closer to the event there was need to cancel due to Covid19 or lingering Covid outbreaks.

I have completed the grant request with the Rancheria and expect to hear shortly that they will once again support the event.

After your review of the attached budget you will notice that this TOT request is asking for 20% of the estimated funds. The generous contribution by the Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort carries the majority support.

To maintain a strong sponsorship with the Rancheria and potentially future sponsors, approval of the TOT funds by the City of Jackson will demonstrate your willingness to partner in its success ensuring increased tourism and business to our community.
