a. Review, discuss and provide direction on the City response and comments to Amador County Unified School District’s DEIR (Draft Environmental Impact Report) for School Consolidation. [Susan Peters, Planning Consultant.]
Susan Peters – Thanked City staff (Public Works, Wastewater, Water, Police, Fire) for their important input which assisted with drafting the response. The purpose of the workshop today is for Council and the Planning Commission to review the draft environmental impact report in a public setting to look for deficiencies, the alternatives analysis, potential mitigation and to determine if there are additional comments to be made before the response is submitted back to the school board by the February 13, 2024 comments extension date. The process leading up to this date is as follows:
May 2022- Amador County Unified School District (ACUSD) Board of Trustees approved a consolidation program to combine Argonaut and Amador High Schools at the Argonaut campus, Ione and Jackson Junior High Schools at the Jackson campus. The decision was made without preparing an environmental impact report (EIR) in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which is required due to the size and scope of the project. The Amador County Transportation Commission (ACTC) challenged the school district’s decision to approve consolidation without the required CEQA documentation.
May 10, 2023 – ACUSD Board approved a contract with an environmental consulting firm, Placeworks, Inc. to complete the environmental impact report.
June 21, 2023 – ACUSD issued a Notice of Preparation (NOP) advising and seeking input from interested parties and agencies pertaining to the project and preparation of the EIR.
February 5, 2024 City Council/Planning Commission Special Meeting Minutes July 20, 2023 – City of Jackson sent a response to the NOP to the school district requesting traffic analysis for impacts resulting from increased students at Argonaut campus, including operational impacts to the key intersections (i.e. Argonaut Lane/Hoffman Street and Hwy 49/88), safety improvements to Stoney Creek Rd, potential mitigation including extending Cedar Street and Wicklow Way, traffic analysis for impacts resulting from increased students at Jackson Elementary School and operational impacts to key intersections (North Main St, Main St, Summit St, Water St, and Main St/Hwy 49/88), police protection mitigation, emergency access and evacuation from Argonaut High School and Jackson Elementary, analysis of wastewater collection capacity and proposed mitigation, water distribution and fire flow capacity, and storm drain capacity.
December 15, 2023 – ACUSD Draft EIR was released with a 45-day review period.
The cities of Jackson, Sutter Creek, Ione, and ACTC requested (in light of the holidays, the complex nature of the DEIR, and transition of Jackson’s new City Manager) the review period to be extended 30 days.
January 17, 2024 – ACUSD Board approved a 15-day extension instead of the requested 30- day, and comments on the DEIR are due February 13, 2024.
The agenda packet includes the draft response from the City of Jackson to the ACUSD Board, with some of the highlights including:
Chapter 3 – Project Description/ DEIR. There is no narrative describing the proposed changes and improvements to the existing Jackson Junior High School to convert it to a preschool, specifically regarding the lower capacity and use of vacant space. How will water/wastewater capacity needs and traffic be impacted by the changed use? Ingress and Egress from Argonaut High School has not been adequately described. Figure 3-5 does not show the necessary encroachment improvements to Argonaut Lane and Stoney Creek Road in order to do an appropriate evaluation of the improvements. Parking needs or additions at Argonaut High School have not been described. Table 3-1 shows Jackson Elementary School will increase with the addition of 6th grade students and there lacks a narrative describing why no improvements need to be made to the site.
Transportation – The DEIR does not address potential safety impacts on our citizens. The analysis is based upon VMT (vehicle miles traveled) versus level of service, which is legal though does not excuse them from using the level of service analysis to determine impacts resulting from queuing safety impacts. The City of Jackson and Caltrans (in response to the Notice of Preparation) both requested this analysis and it was not completed. Caltrans has already submitted their response and asked for the analysis to be incorporated into the DEIR again. The intersection at Hwy 49/88 and Argonaut Lan is already bad and will be exacerbated by the increase of students. Something needs to be done there, whether it be extending Wicklow Way or extending Sutter Street to relieve some traffic. Caltrans also submitted comments in their letter stating the intersection at Hwy 49/88 and Hoffman would meet signal warrant requirements with this project, which also needs to be reviewed. All of these impacts create costly mitigations. Ideally, the evaluation would be done in advance of deciding on consolidation so the Board could make an informed decision on cost efficiency and the most environmentally superior alternatives.
February 5, 2024 City Council/Planning Commission Special Meeting Minutes Mayor McLean – Advised he has gained information on queuing, shooting the gap, and VMT issues over the last couple of months. He inquired about the Sutter Street Extension project.
Susan Peters – Advised the Sutter Street Extension has been on the regional list of projects (as well as just the City of Jackson’s list) for 20 years and is pending development funds. The point of the project is to get the traffic leaving the Junior High and High School onto the highway on a better roadway at a signalized intersection to reduce traffic collisions. The design and environmental is complete and is pending regional money. Vice Mayor Simmons inquired on the timeline for this project? The project is development driven, though sometimes shop/stip monies can come in, and you have to go through ACTC to become a prioritized project, which the school consolidation could impact. Simmons inquired if Wicklow Way could become a higher priority? In her professional opinion, Wicklow Way should not be done without Sutter Street because it will push the through traffic onto Hoffman, which cannot handle the increase due to the steep grade and blind intersection.
Returning to Response Letter Workshop:
Hoffman Street is incorrectly described as extending to Calaveras County (which needs to be corrected). There is not enough information about the valet and bussing programs to consider it to be adequate mitigation. ACUSD is proposing to have a person monitoring the release of students but does not address resolution of the queuing and safety issues. There is no analysis of the potential impacts associated with queuing at the ingress on Argonaut Lane and egress on Stoney Creek Road. Councilmember Godde inquired about the definition of “queuing”? Queuing refers to cars lining up/getting in line to enter/exit the school.
Section 2 – Senate Bill 743 allows for the replacement of level of service analysis with vehicle miles driven, though does not relieve a public agency of the requirements to analyze a project’s potentially significant transportation impact related to air quality, noise, safety, or any other impact associated with transportation, Public Resources Code Section 21099(b)3.
The operations analysis that was performed and not included in the DEIR or appendices, and there were no mitigations associated with that. Those safety impacts and proposed mitigations should be included in the DEIR for the document to be approved as adequate for decision making purposes.
Section 515(4) – Mitigation to develop and implement a transportation demand management plan is (according to CEQA) Section 151264(a)1(b) is not adequate. Future studies cannot be utilized as mitigation because it may not actually take care of the problem, which you would not know until the project is complete.
Geometric Design Features/Issues – The project does not indicate whether there will be additional parking at Argonaut High School with the increase in student population as anticipated. There will be additional cars for extra-curricular activities and events like football games, which could lead to people parking on the street, exacerbating already hazardous situations (particularly on Stoney Creek Road where there are no shoulders or places to park). The project description does not indicate any improvements to Stoney Creek Road or Argonaut Lane, both of which are narrow with minimal or no shoulders. Necessary improvements should be evaluated for potential impacts. Emergency services getting to the site with traffic present, because of traffic metering or everyone leaving at once in the event of an evacuation, presents serious concerns on whether we can get emergency vehicles and
February 5, 2024 City Council/Planning Commission Special Meeting Minutes first responders to the site in the event of an emergency. Mitigation measures should be developed, to include in the DEIR, to ensure first responders can access the site and event participants can evacuate safely in the event of an emergency.
Utilities & Services – The analysis that was performed was not site specific, and they are treating the elementary school, junior high and high school as using the same amounts of water per student and generating the same amount of affluent per student when the uses at the schools are different. Elementary students are not taking showers in the locker room and there are not as many ball fields using water, so they cannot be compared the same way and needs to be rectified in the EIR. The wastewater and water generation numbers are based on generation from the Amador Regional Sanitation Authority’s master plan update, which does not relate to the city of Jackson's wastewater and water use so that needs to be updated and corrected in the draft environmental impact report. The EIR provides mitigation, which includes a detailed analysis of peak weather flows and volume over time to determine the potential surcharge conditions, and it also requires the preparation of a detailed analysis of wastewater generation. Again, they have used future studies as mitigation and we need to know what the impacts are and produce mitigation now as part of the EIR rather than later.
The same goes for the water supply and distribution system. The EIR provides mitigation measures that include evaluation of existing domestic and fire water service meters, mains and anticipated water demands. Those should be done and incorporated into the DEIR.
The number of changes that need to be made to the DEIR will create substantial potential changes to the document and it really should be recirculated for the responsible agencies, interested parties, and those impacted to review. All comment letters go to the consultants who wrote the DEIR to respond and prepare a Final Environmental Impact Report, which may or may not include additional studies, and would be recirculated for a much shorter period of time and a decision is made. The substantial changes being requested should trigger CEQA section 15088.5(a), requiring recirculation and the City should request such.
Additional comments will be included following today’s meeting and brought back to Council at the regular meeting on February 12, 2024 to provide direction to the Mayor to execute the letter and get it submitted to the school board the next day, which is the due date of February 13, 2024.
Vice Mayor Simmons inquired if the requests made in July 2023 to the school board by the City and/or ACTC have changed, and Peters replied no. The amendments to the DEIR are expected to be substantial enough that it should be recirculated rather than simply released with the amendments incorporated.
Peters advised that all documents related to this project can be viewed at ceqanet.opr.ca.gov including the Notice of Preparation, draft documents, comment letters, etc.
The Mayor asked for public comment.
Planning Commission Chair Thornton Consolo provided comment concerning potential City liability concerns related to the consolidation. Peters made a note to include concerns regarding Kearney Street by the elementary school and consideration of an alternate school site analysis to be prepared.
Debby Collins agreed with incorporation of alternative site analysis.
February 5, 2024 City Council/Planning Commission Special Meeting Minutes Steve Oneto – He agreed with Council’s concerns on the letter and suggested Argonaut Drive traffic and the lack of curb/gutter concerns be addressed at the blind corner.
Mayor McLean provided direction to Susan Peters to incorporate the changes discussed this evening and return to the regular City Council meeting on February 12, 2024 for approval and direction to submit the letter to the school board by the due date of February 13, 2024. b. Receive and discuss engineer’s response to the request for a crosswalk at Teresa’s Place [Matt Ospital, City Engineer].
Council reviewed the details of the engineering report included in the Council packet.
Matt Ospital / WGA – Stated he does not believe it would be a good idea for the City to open itself up to potential liability by installing a crosswalk or signage at this location. If Council wishes to proceed with either, there should be a study done because there is no stop sign there and someone could be hit by a car. It was confirmed that northbound traffic does not stop at that intersection.
Mayor McLean asked for public comments and received none. Mayor requests a motion.
Motion to deny the request for a crosswalk to be installed at Teresa’s Place dated February 5, 2024 as presented. Moved by Vice Mayor Simmons, seconded by Councilmember Godde, and carried by a 3 to 0 vote:
AYES: McLean, Simmons, Godde
NOES: None

That City Council approves the Special Event/Parade Permit Application for Dandelion Days, submitted by the Jackson Lions Club. Dandelion Days is scheduled this year for March 16 – 17, 2024 from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Discussion
Dandelion Days set-up will be on Friday, March 15th, 2024, beginning at approximately 5:00 pm. The event will be open on Saturday, March 16th through Sunday, March 17th.
Event hours will be 8:00 am to 5:00 pm on both days.
Dandelion Days is a rather peaceful event with relatively low police activity and other emergency service needs. The anticipated number of attendees is 5,000 per day.
Volunteers from the Argonaut High School Football Team will provide afterhours security monitoring and after event cleanup.
Street Closures
Historic Main Street from the furthest north curb line prolongation proximate the front of the Jackson Fire Station, south to California Street at Main Street, El Dorado Savings parking lot to Highway 49, Court Street at Main Street, Wells Fargo Bank parking lot to Highway 49, Broadway at Summit Street, the Bank of America parking lot and Petkovich Park. The Jackson Lions Club shall provide traffic/parking controls on Broadway for the Civic Center garage parking lot. Other traffic control measures will be in place to prevent unlawful parking in areas surrounding the event. The Main Street and Highway 49 intersection will remain open to vehicular traffic just north of California Street.
The Lions’ HQ trailer will be set up at Main and Broadway, March 13, 2024, and a temporary STOP sign will be needed. Parking will be restricted on Main Street from Friday 5:00 pm to Sunday 5:00 pm or until all vendors have cleared the street.

Council Meeting Memorandum
Monday, February 26, 2024 – 6:30 PM Regular Meeting
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Carl P. Simpson, City Manager
Bree Wilder, Public Works Superintendent
Date: February 22, 2024
Agenda Item #6b: Use of Fund 246 Order R5-2021-0503 to slip line sewer main lines on Pitt Street, along Broadway and in Middle Fork Jackson Creek.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize proceeding with the following projects using 246 Funds under Order R5-2021-0503 to slip line multiple sewer main lines on Pitt Street, along Broadway near the bridge by City Hall and in the creek running from the Ledger Dispatch to City Hall.
DISCUSSION:
These sewer main lines have been approved for repair and qualify to be completed under the Regional Water Board’s Order R5-2021-0503. Under this order, we are to spend $135,720.00 to slip line and repair City sewer main lines that flow within or cross the creek’s water way. The three projects consist of:
1. A four-inch main line on Pitt Street that flows North to a 10” main trunk under the Pitt Street Bridge. The line section in the creek has holes in it and severe I&I. This line will be slip lined from Hwy 88 to the 10” main trunk in the creek.
2. A 4” main line that flows North on Broadway to a 10” main trunk near the bridge by City Hall. The line section that is in the creek also has holes in it causing I&I. This line will be slip lined approximately 100’ from the 10” main trunk South towards Hwy 88.
3. A 10” main trunk that is in the creek from the Ledger Dispatch to City Hall (MH M004 to M003) has six lateral taps out of 11 that have not been in use for many years. Most of these laterals are broken in the creek and take on an overwhelming amount of I&I when the creeks rise. This line will be slip lined from MH M004 to M003 and only the five taps that are still in use will be reinstated, preventing I&I.
Item 6b
Staff estimates the project will exhaust the Fund 246 balance under order R5-2021-0503.
The proposed completion of this slip lining project is March 1, 2024. We will not make the proposed completion date. However, the project is ready to start as soon as next week.
The project went out to bid in August 2023 and no bids were received. Staff reached out to contractors to inquire why they did not bid and Express Sewer & Drain stated they just missed the submission date and were still interested in the job. The initial bid was to complete items #1 and #2 listed above and repair a line on N Main Street. Upon further investigation, the line on N Main Street is not in need of repair at this time. Item #3 has been changed to the description listed above.
Staff has been working with Express Sewer & Drain since August 2023 on preliminary work to obtain a quote for the project. Staff finally received the quote during the week of February 18th, 2024 and the project is expected to start the week of February 25th, 2024.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Carl P. Simpson, City Manager
Carleen Kirkpatrick, Deputy City Clerk
Date: March 8, 2024
Agenda Item #6c: Artificial Christmas Tree
Recommendation
Receive and consider options for potential purchase of an artificial Christmas tree.
Summary
City Staff would appreciate Council consideration to purchase an artificial Christmas tree for display at the Fire Department as opposed to purchasing a live tree every year. Obtaining a tree has become more difficult each year and may not continue to be feasible in years to come due to increasing frustrations with locating a tree and securing reasonable transportation.
The three artificial outdoor tree quotes provided in this packet are provided by Temple Outdoor Décor and Mosca Design.
Product Code Product Name Unit Price
Option 1: T-20-TRGB 20’ Twinkly Pro Branch Tree $35,582.90 (5-year warranty; life expectancy 8-10 years; add 5% for 10-year warranty) -Programmable lights that can be adjusted/changed. RGB light that can be programmed are priced higher.
-Best made artificial tree Temple Outdoor claims to have been able to find.
Option 2: RGB-PT-18 18’ Panel Tree $15,470.68
(5-year warranty; life expectancy 15+ years)
-Standard pre-lit tree, bulb color of choice/one color.
Option 3: RGB-PT-22 22’ Panel Tree $22,029.90
(5-year warranty; life expectancy 15+ years)
-Standard pre-lit tree, bulb color of choice/one color. -RGB strings are only warrantied for the first year but Mosca sends extra strings with the order. Lights can be damaged during set-up and take down so they will
Item 6c
not warranty them beyond one year. Life expectancy of RGB lights is 5 years.
Mosca claims they have customers who have used these lights much longer with proper care.
It is recommended that the Council consider these three options and provide staff with direction to either continue with the purchase of a live tree at Christmas each year, to purchase one of the three options provided or research and obtain additional quotes for future consideration.
