Item 3a
March 13, 2023 City Council Meeting Minutes
a. Virginia Manner / Jackson Creek HOA – She inquired if the city has received an update on FEMA funding.

City Manager Yvonne Kimball advised the city has submitted the Request for Public Assistance with FEMA and began the application process seeking funding for the city. Yvonne advised any funding the city obtains will not be for private resident purposes, and residents will need to apply for their own funding with FEMA. Yvonne advised of the Disaster Recovery Center currently at the Amador County Building which is able to assist residents with their applications and other possible resources, including the Small Business Administration (SBA) which is presenting later in this council meeting.

Virginia Manner recognized and expressed gratitude to Interim Fire Chief Dale Fishback for their assistance with sandbags in preparation for the latest storm. She also expressed gratitude for the 150+ sandbags they were able to obtain from the city lot to help residents prepare for high waters. b. Michelle Gallaher / Amador County Code Enforcement – Michelle advised she is organizing five separate recycling events in the county this year. This Saturday is the first Shred Event at 12200 Airport Rd from 9AM-12PM, or until the truck is full.

[NOTE: Due to a technical error, the meeting audio was not working for call in parties until 17 minutes into the meeting. Audio began recording within the Administrative Reports during Fire Chief Dale Fishback’s report. Items 3 and 4 in the agenda are recapped later in the meeting at the request of City Attorney Josh Nelson.]
Public Works Superintendent, Bree Wilder (ABSENT)
Police Chief, Chris Mynderup – Chris made mention of the recent incident at the County Administrative Building, and advised the victim is currently staying with family recuperating. Chris advised the COJ police department has been partnering with CalOES regarding flooding concerns and using Facebook to relay messages to the public. Chris explained how code red responses work: Step one is for evacuation warnings, and Step 2 is for evacuation orders. Chris advised residents will not be forced to leave in an evacuation, though will only be allowed to return to properties during evacuation orders when it is safe to return. Chris advised the county was out to visit all the hot spots for flooding with them today. PD continues to closely monitor the storm damages, which are insignificant at present. Chris advised PD is ready for Dandelion Days this weekend at Victory Village and will be serving hot dogs and hamburgers to those who don’t opt for Fire’s famous tri-tip sandwiches.

Interim Fire Chief, Dale Fishback – Dale advised the February Fire Report is missing from the agenda packet today due to a high level of mandatory overtime preventing Alex Sharp from being able to complete it in time. The report will be completed and included in the next city council meeting. Dale

March 13, 2023 City Council Meeting Minutes
provided an update on fire truck #1 (ladder truck): On the route back from being repaired, the truck caught fire and was able to be put out quickly. They are currently waiting to meet with the insurance adjuster to cover the costs. Mayor McLean asked if the fire was a result of the repairs. Dale advised this is yet to be determined. The truck is 27 years old and could have been caused by several different possibilities, but the truck was in the repair company’s possession at the time. Fire truck #2 (Engine 6333) has a blown motor and is awaiting an estimate to repair from Lynch’s Automotive. Dale advised Fire is currently recruiting for Fire Engineer and the first testing is scheduled on 3/17/23. Dale advised he is removed from the hiring process as he has a conflict of interest with one of the applicants. Further questions regarding the topic can be addressed to Captain Greathouse. In response to recent incidents, Jackson Fire was able to bring in a couple extra volunteer personnel and will be staffing two pieces of equipment overnight for 24 hours to get through the storm expected overnight. Dale advised Fire will be present at Dandelion Days this weekend with their delicious tri-tip sandwiches.

Mayor McLean recognized Fire staff, Police Chief Mynderup’s staff, and everyone who has assisted in responding to city needs and preparation for the next storm.

Councilmember Stimpson asked if the offer for the ladder truck from the county was still a viable option. Dale advised this is still an option, and he reached out to the County immediately after Truck #1 caught fire. It is still available along with one other option they are entertaining.

City Attorney, Josh Nelson – Josh provided a reminder to the council that the statewide declaration of emergency for COVID has been rescinded, so we are no longer under Assembly Bill 361 meetings. As a general rule, all five members of council need to be physically present in the council chambers to attend a meeting. If a member is sick or has a family emergency, or is away on city business for travel, there are exceptions under Assembly Bill 2449 which would allow a member to participate from a remote location without making that location publicly accessible. If a member does need to take advantage of that, councilmembers need to notify City Attorney Josh Nelson and City Manager Yvonne Kimball to get that set up.

City Manager, Yvonne Kimball – Yvonne advised the city has submitted the Request for Public Assistance (RPA) from FEMA with approximately $17 million loss, though once paired down it will be less. Yvonne advised PW Superintendent Bree Wilder, Finance Manager Dalacie Blankenship, and Administrative Assistant Carleen Kirkpatrick will be the main staff members to gather and submit supporting documentation for the RPA submission. Yvonne reminded residents the city RPA does not include individual/private needs, and property owners/residents must file on their own with SBA and FEMA. She advised of the Disaster Recovery Center at the Amador County Building at 810 Court Street, where FEMA and CalOES representatives are available to assist. Yvonne advised the city has donated $5000 to the Amador Community Foundation’s disaster relief fund and encouraged residents in need to reach out to them as well. Yvonne advised the city has been preparing for the upcoming storms and stated she is proud of the City of Jackson team for all their efforts. Yvonne advised of a meeting on 3/7/23 with staff to discuss who is responsible for which issues related to the storm and contingencies.

Afterwards, city council also provided input to help cover all bases. The city immediately responded to those needs and got the storm drain cleaned. Photos were taken of the work in the creek and the city received positive response from the public after seeing Public Works on scene. Storms today and tomorrow are not expected to be as heavy as the weekend. Yvonne expressed gratitude for the high level of collaboration between the

March 13, 2023 City Council Meeting Minutes
cities, county, Fire Departments, CalOES, FEMA, and other agencies for their support in responding to and preparing for the storms. Yvonne advised in addition to the storm preparation, the chiefs and Bree Wilder met with the Lyons for Dandelion Days this weekend. Good weather is expected. She advised of a sewer spill that occurred Saturday 3/11/23 was reported not to be related to the storm and is being addressed by Public Works. She reported the Sewer Treatment Plant is working on the renewal of our permit and some general requirements passed down from the State. Water and sewer treatment and collection have more regulations than even five years ago, so it is never easy. Lastly, Yvonne pointed out on the consent calendar, the treasury report for December 2022. In comparison, July 2017 had a general fund just over $600,000 and today we have $2.7 million in the general fund.

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 – ABSENT.

Councilmember Godde – Max advised he recently volunteered at the Amador County Day at the Kennedy Mine and attended the Kennedy Mine monthly meeting. Max attended the Cemetery Committee meeting and the “Community Rising Against the Flood” fundraiser. Max advised he has completed the required trainings and submitted the certificates for Sexual Harassment and Ethics, and submitted his Form 700. He encouraged all councilmembers to take care of these items as well.

Councilmember Stimpson – Nothing to report.

Vice Mayor Simmons – Chad advised he attended the ACRA meeting and has not been able to get to his required trainings or Form 700 yet.

Mayor Steve McLean – Steve advised he attended the Chamber of Commerce County Board meeting and heard all about the upcoming car show and other events they have planned. He attended the Amador County Transportation Commission (ACTC) meeting, and they are still working on the school consolidation conflict regarding the lack of CEQA being performed in regard to traffic impacts, mitigation on that factor and they have been ignoring requests for meetings. Attorneys have stepped in to help work towards a solution. Steve also attended the Jackson Main Street Association Beautification Committee, which meets once a month, and went over several issues they are excited about. Steve advised at ACTC he learned there is some $100 million potentially available and grant money for beautification that expires on the 24th. They are moving quickly to look at potential opportunities in our city, including an archway over Main Street, if approved.

At this point, City Attorney Josh Nelson requested council to review Items 3 and 4 on the agenda again due to technical error preventing call-ins from hearing online, and to provide an opportunity for public comments for people online. He also advised re-voting on the consent calendar to make sure everyone can hear. (Two call-ins present in the online room: Sierra and Cindy Grandbois.) Mayor McLean reviewed Items 3 and 4 and results. Mayor McLean asked for public comment on these items and received no public comments from call-ins. Mayor McLean advised they asked for a motion on Item 4.

March 13, 2023 City Council Meeting Minutes
Cindy Grandbois thanked the mayor for returning to these items. Cindy also requested the chat feature be activated in the online attendance in the first five minutes of the meeting that would be helpful.

City Manager Yvonne Kimball advised this item is not on the agenda, but she will respond.

Yvonne advised city staff will consider this comment and look into potential solutions.

Debby Collins (present in the meeting room in person) asked to speak during this public comment and Mayor McLean allowed for her comments. Debby asked for an update on the arch over the Catholic cemetery entrance. City Manager Yvonne Kimball advised the arch is involved in a current claim, and the city may not comment at this time. Debby asked about getting pictures of the mayors up in council chambers since it has been years since it was updated. Council advised this can be looked into.

Vice Mayor Simmons advised that Paul Jones (who used to do a prayer before council meetings) called to advise he is in assisted living and is frustrated and sad that he is unable to attend meetings anymore.

Paul wanted to say hello and wish everyone well.

Mayor McLean returned to Item 4 Consent Calendar on the agenda. He advised they made a motion to approve the consent calendar and it was approved. He asked for any public comment from those online and received none.

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 discussions. 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] Christine advised someone from her unhoused community is now housed at Victory Gardens on Placer. This resident is a veteran, was very excited, and they are working on trying to create a comfortable environment for him because it is a little odd set up with rooms. Christine reported they only had to shut down the showers a couple times because of weather, but Jim who runs the showers is a “die hard” and people do come out. Jim was at Sierra Wind today making connections with people who inquired about the showers and said they would come rain or shine. They intend to have the showers open again tomorrow. Foothill Conservancy donated a dumpster to one of her encampments, and the residents of that encampment did the work themselves and were able to fill up 2/3 of the dumpster. Aces Waste Management was kind enough to donate the dumping fee.

Christine expressed gratitude to the group at the encampment for their efforts to keep a good environment. Christine advised she has received some wonderful donations of food she was able to piece out and connect with another agency to take the remaining food to others in need, avoiding any waste. She also received a couple clothes donations (warm items) from someone here in the city that were washed and distributed. She advised that the unhoused do not necessarily have the opportunity to preserve their things when they get wet. Christine was invited to speak personally by District 4

March 13, 2023 City Council Meeting Minutes
Senator Alvarado-Gil at her office along with others, such as Sheriff Fredman, as she wishes to have a fairer understanding of the plight of this district and how it is affecting our rural communities. She advised Senator Alvarado-Gil said even though we are a smaller community, compared to most cities that she represents, we are taking a very proactive step in helping people in our own unhoused community.

Mayor McLean responded that we are lucky to have a Senator that lives locally.

Christine responded that she was asked this time what policies she thinks would be the most beneficial to the unhoused. She stated she thinks we need to separate our urban and rural policies because what works in bigger cities does not always apply to us and ends up being a waste.

Christine reported she will be attending the Homeless Outreach Fair coming again in May, which will provide opportunities to connect the unhoused with agencies and resources. Christine also advised the cleanup for this month has been rescheduled to next month due to the rain/mud. She asked for any questions and received none.

Mayor McLean allowed for Lisa Lucke to present Item C before Item B. City Manager Kimball advised the agenda order is important with consideration for Councilmember Godde, as he needs to leave early at 8PM. Lisa Lucke advised she will be quick and was allowed to present first. b. License agreement with Kennedy Mine Foundation for Tailing Wheel No. 1.

Linda Gonzales advised they have received numerous requests from the community to fix wheel #1, but it does not belong to the Kennedy Mine. She previously approached council about arranging an agreement to lease the wheel and is unable to sign the proposed agreement at this point due to insurance issues. They are having difficulty finding an insurer to cover workers climbing the wheel.

She advised they have a fund set up with the Amador Community Foundation called the Amador County Historic Preservation Fund to handle funds received for the wheel. She estimated it will be approximately $20-30,000 minimum to get the wheel fixed. They have millwrights they have been working with to complete the rebuild, starting with replacing the hub, the axle, and then the wood on the rim of the wheel. Right now, they remain in limbo until they find insurance that will cover hired workers. If they hire a professional company, they may be able to provide their own insurance. If we use volunteers, they would not be covered with the agreement as it is currently drafted.

City Attorney Josh Nelson responded and advised, as drafted the agreement would not cover volunteers, but if council approves, they could approve it with that condition and city can tweak the language if that is what is needed. Josh advised that we do make sure it is someone with adequate insurance that covers the city, and that should be sufficient.

Councilmember Stimpson inquired if they were insured when they used cranes at the wheel in the past to replace the structure underneath?
Linda Gonzales responded not to her knowledge. Stimpson responded he is glad he didn’t get hurt.

Linda advised all the crane operators were insured. Linda advised this is the reason for her question regarding if the millwrights come with their own expertise and equipment, will they need additional insurance beyond what they have covering their business.

March 13, 2023 City Council Meeting Minutes
Vice Mayor Simmons suggested they would have to name the City of Jackson as additionally insured.

Councilmember Stimpson stated that was a very fun project with volunteers.

Linda advised they have a lot of volunteers, but the millwrights will be doing the rebuild. She advised Bill Braun will be working on the axle, but the work will not involve a crane this time.

Mayor McLean asked for public comment. Hearing none, Mayor McLean asked for a motion to approve.

Motion to approve the License Agreement with Kennedy Mine Foundation for Tailing Wheel No. 1 wi the condition that staff can approve modifications in the insurance, subject to City Manager approval dated March 13, 2023. Moved by Councilmember Godde, seconded by Councilmember Stimpson, and carried by a 4 to 0 vote:

AYES: Godde, McLean, Simmons, Stimpson
NOES: None
ABSENT: Gonsalves
ABSTAIN: None
Linda Gonzales inquired about her next step in the project. City Manager Kimball responded she will call Linda tomorrow.

Mayor McLean mentioned that the Native Sons Golden West have helped the Kennedy Mine and they will be getting the historical preservation. As the Vice President of the organization, he also suggested a possible dedication for Wheel #1 once restored. Linda responded that Keith Davis (a member on Kennedy Mine Foundation) mentioned this and expressed her gratitude. c. Cemetery Committee Report – provide status updates and potential requests regarding committee make-up, policies and projects. [Verbal presentation by Chairman Keith Davis] Lisa Lucke/Cemetery Committee Member presented on behalf of Chairman Keith Davis who had to be out of town. She advised they are lacking one member and have been constrained to residents within city limits to fill the spot. Lisa requested to expand the criteria to include the whole county as eligible to apply to be on the Cemetery Committee. Lisa advised she joined one year ago, she was the only applicant, and they have had another empty seat ever since she joined.

She advised the cemetery has descendants that live all over the county that would gladly join who have a vested interest in helping maintain the cemetery. Lisa advised the Cemetery Committee has organizing to do, fundraising, wants to do some tours with the schools, and they each are responsible for walking through the cemetery once a month, so they really need another member.

Mayor Stimpson opened discussion.

City Attorney Josh Nelson advised this is completely up to the council’s discretion and will require a municipal code amendment. If council is comfortable with the proposal, it can be brought back and go on the consent calendar.

March 13, 2023 City Council Meeting Minutes
Lisa Lucke asked if they must wait until that is approved to fill the seat.

City Attorney Nelson advised there will need to be two readings (two council meetings), and then 30 days after that, so they can start advertising for more people though not appoint until the change is effective.

Vice Mayor Simmons asked if we could give preference to sphere of influence people.

City Attorney Nelson confirmed.

Lisa Lucke advised they will give City of Jackson residents sphere of influence priority in selection.

Councilmember Godde advised anyone can attend the Cemetery meetings, be given tasks to complete, but may not vote on items in the meeting.

Vice Mayor asked when the cemetery clean-up day is.

Lisa advised the clean-up is scheduled for April 15th, she wrote a press release for the paper, and Jim Guidi will have them on the radio. They will have coffee, donuts, and water, and will continue to get information out there before the clean-up date to advertise.

Mayor asked for public comments. Cindy Grandbois (attending remotely) said she agreed with the proposal to expand eligibility and give preference to residents in the greater Jackson area.

Cindy Grandbois also stated she may be interested in applying to be on the Cemetery Committee.

Sierra Grandbois advised she also wants to go to the Cemetery Committee, and requested to change the Cemetery Committee meeting time as they meet during a time that she is at work.

Mayor McLean responded the Cemetery Committee would have to make that decision. The Chairman will be advised to pose this question to the committee, on whether they wish to amend their meeting time to accommodate folks that are working during the day. [Councilmember Godde excused himself from the meeting at this time.] d. Small Business Administration Office of Disaster Recovery presentation on Disaster Assistance Loans for business/residential properties. [Presenter: George Kostyrko/Amador County Liaison U.S. SBA].

George Kostyrko expressed gratitude for being able to present. He advised he is a Public Information Officer for the US Small Business Administration Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience. He stated he is here following President Biden’s major disaster declaration of January 14, 2023 for the severe winter storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides that began December 27th, 20 22 in many parts of California. He expressed gratitude for Sergeant Bellotti’s diligent efforts working with other law enforcement and inspectors to make sure everything got completed. George advised that anyone who has experienced a loss should enroll or register with FEMA by this Thursday March 16, 2023, as he has not received any information regarding an extension at this time. He advised it is critical that anyone suffering a loss in the city or county submit their applications, and they can receive assistance at the county center at 810

March 13, 2023 City Council Meeting Minutes
Court Street. There are small business loans available through the SBA and eight or nine other agencies present at this location including EDD and DMV. DMV may be waiving some registrations. This Disaster Recovery Center has bene open for a couple weeks at this location and plans to stay open until community needs are met. The current deadline pertains to losses related specifically to the December 27, 2022 storm events. George expressed his gratitude to Beth Stanton with Interfaith Food Bank for helping to the get the word out, and there are 17 churches involved in that. George strongly encouraged everyone to get the word out about this opportunity to get in person assistance with applications and SBA loans. George advised people can get pre-approved (similar to a home loan) and are not required to take the loan unless they want. Homeowners can qualify for up to $200,000 in low interest loans, and renters up to $40,000 to replace personal property. For businesses and nonprofits, property damage up to $2 million is available to repair and replace real estate, machinery, equipment, inventory, and other assets that were damaged or destroyed. Economic Injury Disaster Loans are also available with an application deadline in October 2023. Interest rates can be as low as 2.313% for homeowners and renters, 2.375% for private nonprofit organizations, and 3.305% for businesses with terms up to 30 years. Loans are designed to help people get back to where they were before the disaster.

Mitigation assistance is also available for eligible SBA disaster loan borrowers, which could include moving a manufactured home to higher ground. SBA is partnered with FEMA since this is a presidential declaration, which provides benefits to survivors. These are grants, not loans, and do not need to be paid back, which are helpful. George commended our community members for helping neighbors and friends and being the real first responders, whereas FEMA is coming in later to help. George shared the following statistics for Amador County: 32 applications have been received and three approved for a total of $89,000 (last week’s numbers).

He advised about twice as many have bene received as of today. George acknowledged the county may be experiencing additional events, but this deadline for assistance applies only to the December 27th, 2022 event. Other assistance may come in later to address additional or upcoming storm events.

Councilmember Bob Stimpson requested clarification on the amounts for homeowner and renter loans, and George confirmed the amounts mentioned above with some examples.

Mayor McLean asked for any public comment and received none. He thanked George for his presentation. George encouraged residents to spread the word once again regarding the Disaster Recovery Center.

CITY OF JACKSON
Council Meeting Memorandum
Monday, March 27th, 2023 – 7:00PM Regular Meeting
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Matt Ospital, City Engineer
Date: March 15, 2023
Subject: Anderson / Jackson View Partners Lot Line Adjustment APN: 044-340-040 & 044-530-038
RECOMMENDATION:

City Engineer recommends City Council’s conditional approval (see Exhibit “A” for conditions) of the Anderson / Jackson View Partners Lot Line Adjustment Application.

DISCUSSION:

In the City of Jackson lot line adjustments are approved by City Council pursuant to City Code Chapter 17.86.050 after application has been submitted to and reviewed by City Planner (City Code Chapter 17.86.030).

This application proposes to adjust the rear lot line of Lot 1 of Stone Creek Subdivision (252 Cypress Court). Improvements on this parcel were constructed within the rear lot setback (please see application Exhibit “B” and photo). The wood fence in photo is on the proposed lot line.

The adjoining Lot 83 of Jackson View Phase 2 fronts on Goldstone Avenue and has a 20’ wide drainage easement and a 6’ wide “V” ditch along its west property line (see photo). The drainage facilities will not be impacted by the proposed lot line adjustment.

Drainage facilities are within that 20’ drainage easement and would, after lot line adjustment, cross portions of adjusted Lot 1. A 10’ public utility easement at rear of Lot 1 will no longer be needed at that location since that back lot line will be moved easterly while the existing 20’ drainage easement location will be unchanged.

The application proposes filing a parcel map to complete the lot line adjustment which is the proper document to abandon or relocate easements.

item 3d
City Engineer and City Planner have no objection to this lot line adjustment as it would move lot line to correspond with the existing fence, correct a back lot setback encroachment, and relocate the existing 10’ public utility easement to the adjusted rear lot line.

Both property owners have signed the lot line adjustment application.

City Engineer will follow up with building official on status of the storm drain ditch improvements that are not complete at this time.

Resolution No. 2023-10
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Jackson Approving Lot Line Adjustment for
APNs 044-530-038 and 044-340-040
Lot 83 of Jackson View, Phase 2 and
Lot 1 of Stone Creek Subdivision
WHEREAS, Charles and Sheila Anderson and Jackson View Partners, L.P. have applied for a Lot Line Adjustment pursuant to Section 17.86.030 of the City Code; and WHEREAS, application for the lot line adjustment has been processed in accordance with Chapter 17.86 of the City Code and reviewed by the City Planner and City Engineer and found to be in compliance with the provisions of State Law and City Code; and WHEREAS, lot line adjustments are categorically exempt in accordance with Section 15305 of the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3; and WHEREAS, the application affects two adjoining lots. Lots 1 of Stone Creek Subdivision and Lot 1 of Jackson View Subdivision, Phase 2 where one structure exists at this time; and
WHEREAS, the findings required by Section 17.86.050B of the Jackson City Code are hereby made; and
WHEREAS, applicants propose to file a parcel map that will reflect Conditions of Approval as required by Government Code Article 66447; and WHEREAS, City Council is authority for lot line adjustment approval pursuant to Chapter 17.86.050 of City Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Jackson does hereby conditionally approve the Lot Line Adjustment for said two lots and authorizes the processing and recording of documents completing the adjustment in accordance with Section 17.86.070 of the City Code.

The foregoing resolution was duly passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Jackson at a regular meeting on the 27th day of March, 2023, by the following vote:

Council Meeting Memorandum
Monday, March 27th, 2023 – 7:00PM Regular Meeting
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Yvonne Kimball, City Manager
Date: March 27, 2023
Subject: Staff Recommendation for TOT Funding of Sign at 149 Main Street RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council
a. grant an exception to the municipal code for placement of the sign as proposed at 149 Main b. allow city logo usage
c. Design Review Committee acknowledgement of the sign design d. using TOT funding to cover a portion or all of the cost of the sign (up to $2,500) DISCUSSION:

The blank wall at 149 Main St. has been covered by a wall mural sign that promotes the City in the past. The property is owned by Tracey Towner. A few months ago, the owner removed the sign as it was worn out. The owner had made a new sign to fill most of the wall space. The sign measures

31.7’ (width) X 8’ (height). See the attached rendering.

Ms. Towner has requested the City to pay for the sign. The sign is produced by Merzlak Signs and costs $2,500. It is expected to last 10 years. Ms. Towner also requested the City install the sign.

Staff believes the sign is historically relevant as well as aesthetically pleasing. It will enhance the appearance of the historic downtown as a whole. The sign proposes to include city’s logo as a partner (along with Upcountry Pool and Merzlak Signs), and an area to advertise future events. Additionally, the City has paid for and installed the previous sign at the same location. Staff believe It is appropriate for City to consider financial support for the new sign.

Although technically, the proposed sign for 149 Main Street is not in compliance with the city’s sign regulations in terms of its size. However, it is not detriment to surrounding businesses, citizens, or

Item 6a
motorists. It is compatible with the Mother Lode typography and consistent with the historic nature of the city. City Council is recommended to grant an exception. Municipal Code also stipulates that any signs installed in the historical area requires the review of the Design Committee. Staff recommends that the DRC is at least notified of it.

Re: Opposition to placement of the sexually violent predator William Stephenson in Amador County As the Mayor of the City of Jackson, I am writing on behalf of our community to oppose the placement of a dangerous sexually violent predator (SVP) into an Amador County residence, who has no nexus to Amador County. We hope to support Sheriff Redman in helping the court to realize the decision to place this criminal in Amador County was hastily reached, poorly researched, and places an unfair burden upon the fine families in our area. Although the residence is upcountry, this decision impacts the City of Jackson greatly. Upcountry residents in rural Amador County conduct much of their commerce in the City of Jackson (the county seat), and we provide their public transportation to our local stores, restaurants, entertainment, and schools. Our residents have an interest in preserving the safety of our families and children who may be affected by this placement.

Upon review of Amador County Sheriff’s investigation, it is clear that the Department of State Hospitals and Liberty Healthcare put insufficient effort into determining the appropriateness of placing the offender at 18901 Shake Ridge Road. Families directly neighboring the proposed residence for this violent offender were not notified or allowed to provide any input into this decision that places their children and grandchildren at risk. These direct neighbors have upward of 13 children and teens who either live or frequently visit the homes, swimming pools, and outdoor spaces in view of this residence.

This location is adjacent to BLM land that is regularly frequented by numerous families year around for outdoor recreation. It also appears no effort was made to notify Amador County School District’s Transportation Department, despite the numerous school bus stops along Shake Ridge Road, with one stop directly adjacent to the main ingress and egress from Stephenson’s proposed residence.

My fellow council members and I stand with Amador County Sheriff Redman in the opposition of housing a sexually violent predator in our county where the offender has no support base. Amador County, nor the City of Jackson, has sufficient resources, police force, social programs, or probation/parole services to effectively monitor or support Stephenson. These supports are essential to successful reintegration of a SVP, as well as to adequately protect the surrounding community. The State has displayed negligence in its inquiry into the suitability of this placement and I urge the court to consider an alternate residence within the County of Commitment or the listed County of Domicile.

The hardworking families directly neighboring the proposed residence for this offender deserve to feel safe and secure in their homes, and the placement of an out of county SVP would only serve to undermine that fundamental right.

CITY OF JACKSON
Council Meeting Memorandum
Monday, March 27, 2023 – 7:00 PM Regular Meeting
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Yvonne Kimball, City Manager
Date: February 24, 2023
Agenda Item #8g: Current active grant list.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council receive an update on active grants.

DISCUSSION:

The City is maintaining a long list of grant funded projects. As of December 31, 2022, the award total is over $17 million. Many of the city’s capital improvement projects are relying on grant funding, such as Sutter St. Extension (design phase) and South Ave. bridge replacement. Grants also fund crucial services including homeless outreach, and mandatory policies, such as the General Plan Update. One grant that we are still waiting for state review is Clean Water funding to assist with water reservoir improvement, which will have critical impacts on city services (and customer rates). We initiated the application 2.5 years ago (and are still waiting).

This list is to help inform Council of the status of some very important projects that the City is working on. Given the City’s general fund being over $4 million, this grant amount is quite impressive.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Yvonne Kimball, City Manager
Date: March 23, 2023
Agenda Item #8b: FY 22/23 Budget mid-year Status Report as of December 31, 2022 FY 21/22 Unaudited financial status report

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council review the reports. Council be aware of challenges.

DISCUSSION
Enclosed are summary status reports for the FY 21/22 as of December 31, 2022, and budget / actual comparison for FY 22/23 mid-year. The data represents a “snap shot” view of the financial activities up to December 31,2022.

For FY 21/22, the audit is being conducted. The official audited financial reports will be available soon. FY 21/22 was a challenging year – employee shortage and turn-over, City Hall relocation, water rate increase (due to AWA significant rate hike), first amendment visit, and weather related interruptions - while pushing through the implementation of over $10 million of grant funded projects /programs and managing day-day-day activities. Unaudited financial reports indicated that the general fund and the utility funds will end in some surplus. General Fund surplus is approximately $620,000 including committed, restricted, assigned, and unassigned fund balances. All told, the unassigned fund balance will increase moderately.

Moving onto the FY 22/23, the mid-year review has a few highlights:

1. General Fund revenues: one concerning trend is the TOT revenues. They have been lacking. In FY 21/22, the revenue was short by $48,000. So far in FY 22/23, the revenues have not recovered. One large lodging partner remains delinquent. Sales tax and property taxes are as anticipated, following an uptick trend.

2. General Fund departments: Community development related reimbursement activities lag behind. Employee training is a priority. Although all departments are within the 50 % mark, moving forward, some big expenses are expected: engineering cost, fleet cost. It

item 6d
appears that legal cost might have been slowing down after last few years’ jump. Budget amendment was approved to pay for Vukovich Way paving.

3. Water, Sewer funds: the water revenues show an uptrend in FY 22/23. Sewer revenues are as anticipated. Water is still slightly concerning. Sewer fund remains strong. Sewer rate is up to renew in June. Staff is working with rate consultants to bring some options to Council. Water rate is due next June.

4. Swimming pool: Pool has expenses all year round since it is in use most of the year through contracts. The contract fees were collected in FY 21/22. In FY 21/22, ACRA managed city’s swimming programs. They kept the revenues as well. The true-up cost was over $20,000. In FY 22/23, city resumes pool program operation with some changes; we will see how the budget unfolds later this year.

5. Challenges abound. High inflation, high gas cost, pension cost increase, health care increases will impact finance outlook negatively, along with concerns for economy down-turn. We also must keep up the productivity to implement, manage, report on 15 large grant projects and the ARPA allocations.

CITY OF JACKSON
Council Meeting Memorandum
Monday, March 27th, 2023 – 7:00PM Regular Meeting
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Yvonne Kimball, City Manager
Date: March 27, 2023
Subject: Ordinance No. 728 Amending City of Jackson Municipal Code Section

14.04.030 Building Standards Code to Revise the Snow Load Standard:
reverting to twenty pounds per sq. ft.

RECOMMENDATION:

That City Council waive first hearing and direct to proceed with adoption hearing.

DISCUSSION:

On December 12, 2022 pursuant to Government Code section 50022.1 et seq., the City of Jackson (“City”) adopted by reference the California Building Standards Code (2022 Edition) as provided in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations and other codes. Health and Safety Code sections 17958.7 and 18941.5 authorize cities to adopt the California Building Standards Code with modifications determined to be reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions.

The City previously adopted the building code to follow the snow load standards set forth by American Society of Civil Engineers (“ASCE”), which provides for the standard of zero pounds per square foot at 1,200 ft. to 1,500 ft. in elevation, and the City sits at an average of 1,217 ft elevation.

Since its adoption, Jackson experienced a very wet winter which resulted a few snowfalls. Although rare, this incident illustrates climate change and the need to adjust. Upon the recommendation of the City Engineer, the City desires to revert its snow load standards to twenty pounds per sq. ft. as has been the historical standard.

The City’s Building Department has recommended that changes and modifications be made to the California Building Standards Code, and has advised that certain changes and modifications to said

Item 6e
Code are reasonably necessary due to local conditions within the City of Jackson, and are reasonably necessary to safeguard life and property within the City of Jackson.

The City is scheduled to hold a public hearing on March 27th and April 10th, 2023, at which time all interested persons will have the opportunity to appear and be heard on the matter of the building code to be amended. The City will publish notice of the public hearings pursuant to California Government Code sections.
