Similarly, the Great Christmas Light Show, Jackson’s residential Christmas lights competition, far exceeded expectations, with appreciation extended to participants, spectators, and the entire community for their enthusiasm.

4. 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 – Welcomed new Councilmember Sierra McLean. Sewer Projects on Elizabeth Street and Gordon Place have both been completed by Express Sewer & Drain.
January 13, 2025 City Council Meeting Minutes
Everything progressed well, with a slight adjustment to the Gordon project’s linear footage, which has been successfully addressed. The sewer CCTV 5-year project went out to bid today, following up on the plan last completed approximately 3 to 4 years ago. The Mattley hill slide project received three bids, which are currently under review, with results expected at the next meeting. The Sutter Street drainage project is complete, pending a few final tasks related to easements and a light pole near the library parking lot. The pool was prepared and heated over the weekend, allowing the high school swim team to start using it this afternoon. The high school sewer issue has been resolved, with all necessary reporting completed and communication maintained with the state. The work included cleaning out the sewer lift station, which is now functioning properly.
Vice Mayor Simmons inquired about the Busi parking lot sign. Wilder advised he will follow up with Kam Merzlak to arrange replacement and move the current sign to the City Hall parking garage.
Work on the Main Street plates also begins on Wednesday 1/15/25 at approximately 9AM, cutting and excavating the area to remove sand, assess its depth, and compact it before moving forward. Vice Mayor Simmons inquired about the plan for repair. Wilder advised after exploration; a temporary cold patch will be applied until hot mix paving can be completed later with two other pending projects. The work will be handled in-house with the goal of opening one lane for traffic while using parking stalls for temporary traffic flow. The sewer line and private lateral in the area are in excellent condition, and a storm drain was identified further south. Councilmember Godde inquired about what was found under the plates on Main St. Wilder advised that timbers, potentially from an old cistern, may be removed and preserved if full length, with the historic society informed for mapping purposes. The crew aims to manage the project efficiently despite short staffing due to illness, with updates shared with local business owners and the radio station. Weather conditions are favorable, ensuring smooth progress as work begins. Mayor McLean stated he may stop by when work begins on Wednesday.
Fire Chief, Ryan Pidgeon – The department deployed a water tender to the Eaton Fire in Altadena, staffed by Engineer Daniel Fishback and Firefighter Kyle Judd, who are expected to remain there for at least two weeks, possibly longer. They are operating in a remote area of the Altadena Hills, providing critical water shuttling services to helicopters actively fighting the fire, navigating challenging dirt roads in the process. Plans are in place to rotate the crew if the deployment extends beyond two weeks. Mayor McLean requested the crews be recognized at an upcoming meeting upon their return. Chief Pidgeon advised that the department intends to recognize the deployed crew, as well as those covering overtime shifts locally, emphasizing the importance of their efforts and the support of their families. In other updates, the department responded to 191 calls last month and a total of 2,231 calls last year, marking a
14.5% increase from the previous year. Efforts are underway to analyze the rising call volume.
Police Chief, Chris Mynderup – The New Year was relatively quiet, with a couple of DUI arrests, with a significant traffic stop made by Officer Thurman at 3:30 a.m. on January 1. He stopped a speeding silver Mercedes and arrested the passenger, 34-year-old Jared Bindy out of Stockton, for providing a false name and having two felony warrants from San Joaquin County. The driver, 46-year-old Brent Blazer, also out of Stockton, was detained after Officer Thurman established probable cause. After a search of the vehicle uncovered a pound of methamphetamine, nearly an ounce of cocaine, over $4,000 in cash, and a loaded handgun. The drugs had an estimated street value of $10,000–$18,000. Blazer, a prior convicted felon, was arrested on multiple felony charges, including possession and transportation of controlled substances for sale, possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon, and carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle. Officer Thurman’s vigilance in making the arrest and removing drugs and firearms from the streets was praised.
Additionally, a cleanup of homeless camps on Tayak Lane and the Oro De Amador property is scheduled for Friday, January 24, with dumpsters donated by Aces Waste Services (now Republic) and
January 13, 2025 City Council Meeting Minutes
operational plans led by Sergeant Del Rio. Caltrans and CHP will address transients under the Highway 49 bridge, issuing 48-hour notices to vacate before conducting a cleanup.
Lastly, in response to the recent letters to the editor regarding dog bites, a town hall meeting on animal control services will be held on Thursday, January 16, in the Civic Center from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., featuring discussions on city, county, and state laws and policies, with the county animal control director present for a Q&A session.
Vice Mayor Simmons inquired about whether piled debris near Grocery Outlet will be addressed. Chief Mynderup confirmed cleanup efforts will also address that area.
City Attorney, Josh Nelson – No report.
City Manager, Carl P. Simpson – No report.
5. 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 – Attended a Cemetery Committee meeting, Kennedy Mine Foundation meeting, and volunteered at the Amador Senior Center, which is in great need of additional volunteers if anyone is interested.
Councilmember McLean – Participated in the judging for the residential Christmas Lights competition, and she greatly enjoyed seeing all the lights around town. She is looking forward to more events in years to come.
Vice Mayor Simmons – No report.
Mayor McLean – Attended his last ACTC meeting last week, attended a meeting regarding LAFCO at the Amador County building, and a Chamber of Commerce mixer.
6. 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.
b. Receive, discuss, and provide direction on verbal report of City’s ongoing response to homeless issues [Christine Platt, Homeless Outreach Coordinator].
Two unhoused individuals recently transitioned from a shelter to permanent housing, which is an exciting milestone. Efforts are ongoing to ensure everyone in the encampments mentioned by Chief Mynderup have been reached and connected to applicable services. An application for the HHAP-5 funding, (amounting to approximately $478,000 available), is underway and expected to be submitted by the end of the week to support various programs, including outreach, showers, and
January 13, 2025 City Council Meeting Minutes
staffing. Plans are also in motion to replace Brittany, who has transitioned to a new role at Master Care, a grant-funded program assisting people with healthcare and housing needs. Collaborative efforts with Brittany and shared clients continue, but finding her replacement is now a priority.
Mayor McLean inquired if she is seeing an increase/decrease in the homeless population. Platt stated the current season is a slow period for outreach, as colder weather often prompts families and friends to offer more support, reducing visibility of individuals living in cars or needing services.
However, summer typically provides a more accurate reflection of the need, as more people utilize resources like showers during warmer months.
c. Review of 2025 City Council Committee Assignments.
Mayor McLean made one amendment to the Committee assignment, moving Chad Simmons onto the LAFCO assignment and Sierra McLean to the Solid Waste Management committee.
Mayor McLean opened the item for council discussion. Councilmembers agreed to the change.
Mayor McLean asked for public comments and received none.
Mayor requests a motion.
Motion to approve the Committee Assignments with the proposed change listed above dated January 13, 2025 as presented. Moved by Vice Mayor Simmons, seconded by Councilmember Godde, and carried by a 4 to 0 vote:
AYES: McLean, Simmons, Godde, McLean
NOES: None
ABSENT: Gonsalves
ABSTAIN: None
d. Discussion regarding road conditions on French Bar Road, West of Highway 49 [Paul Omaleki, property owner on French Bar Rd].
Paul Omaleki advised staff he would not be able to attend the meeting.
Mayor McLean asked for public comment.
John Plasse (Resident, French Bar Rd.) – John advised he is a longtime county resident and expressed frustration over the deteriorating condition of French Bar Road, citing safety concerns due to overgrown trees, blind spots, and poor maintenance. Despite repeated requests for improvements like paving and ditch work, he stated that responses have pointed to a lack of funding or shifting responsibility to others. Plasse questioned why regional traffic mitigation fees were waived for a new event center on the road, suggesting such exemptions are unfair. He advocated for using recreation funds to improve road safety for pedestrians and cyclists and emphasized the need for French Bar Road to be prioritized in local transportation plans. He also highlighted efforts on the Amador County Transportation Commission (ACTC) to redirect funding from underutilized transit services and state highway projects toward local road improvements, urging collaboration between the city and county to address these issues systematically. The speaker called for a phased approach to repairing the road, suggesting incremental improvements over a few years to complete the project efficiently.
January 13, 2025 City Council Meeting Minutes
Virginia Manor (Jackson resident) – As a longtime walker, she described how French Bar Road has become increasingly hazardous over the past two years, with large potholes and deep ruts making it unsafe for recreational use, especially for seniors and children on bicycles. Once a safe and popular spot for walking, even for individuals recovering from health issues, the road's deterioration now forces walkers to focus on every step to avoid injury. She emphasized that the road’s condition has worsened significantly, especially after recent winters, and lamented the loss of its recreational and health benefits for the community.
Amador County Resident/French Bar Rd - A longtime resident of 21 years, expressed frustration over the road's worsening condition, noting that their gravel driveway is in better shape and easier to drive on than French Bar Road itself. She shared how attempts to fill potholes are ineffective, as she believes the material is not properly compacted and ends up damaging vehicles. She stated that her friends avoid visiting due to the road's impact on their cars, and breakable items often risk damage during the drive. She emphasized the urgent need for improvements, hoping something will be done to address the road's deteriorating state.
Councilmember Godde agreed the road is very bumpy and he does not recall French Bar Road being paved anytime over the past 30 years, while noting there is also not much traffic on this road in relation to other more well-traveled roads in town. He expressed interest in considering a 10-footwide bike lane using transportation funds.
Mayor McLean stated he wants to follow up on RTMF funds for the building being worked on out there.
Vice Mayor Simmons advised we should at least address any problem trees on French Bar Road for now. He inquired if the ditches are plugged. PW Supt Wilder advised the ditches are not plugged and the PW crew has been out there to clean out the ditches and trim trees, though the further section past the beg bend near the end of city limits has not been addressed due to difficulties with the backhoe and potential to negatively impact the road. That part of the road may need to be contracted out to complete, or partner with the county to use their grader. e. Second discussion regarding regular meeting times and/or frequency of the City Council.
Item tabled for when Councilmember Gonsalves is present. City Attorney will prepare a draft ordinance with the 6:30PM meeting start time to be presented at the next meeting, which will be available for edits or changes upon Council decision at that meeting. f. Discussion and possible approval of License Agreement with Restore Amador, LLC.
Mayor McLean advised that Restore Amador is working on complying with ADA requirements at the old courthouse and the City is trying to help them within our limits so they can get Baker Street West up and running along with any other public programs or events planned for that space.
City Manager Carl Simpson advised the Macklins were unavailable to attend the meeting tonight due to illness but Patrick Macklin asked him to communicate to Council that they approve of the final agreement presented tonight. This agreement includes the ability to incorporate CASP service specialist to address ADA challenges.
Councilmember McLean inquired when the five-year agreement goes into effect and if the City has a proposed plan for use of the building this year. City Manager Simpson advised the 5-year agreement
January 13, 2025 City Council Meeting Minutes
goes into effect upon signing and likely would be used for a community meeting when the need arises, similar to the way Jackson Realty’s Beautification Committee used the space for their Archway presentation. Sierra McLean suggested using the building for fundraising activities, such as for the Fire Department. Simpson confirmed it could be used for this purpose, as well as any activity where we would want to serve alcohol and we do not prefer serving alcohol with uses at City Hall.
The Sherlock Holmes production is also looking forward to getting the occupancy permit to move forward with their film after being displaced from another location in town last year.
Mayor McLean asked for public comments and received none.
Mayor requests a motion.
Motion to approve the License Agreement with Restore Amador, LLC dated January 13, 2025 as presented. Moved by Councilmember Godde, seconded by Councilmember McLean, and carried by a 4 to 0 vote:

NOES: None

Proposer Evaluation and Score Sheet
12/23/24
From the RFP the scoring method was as follows:
Scoring Method
1. Firm and Team Qualifications, Expertise, and Experience – 20 points Describe your firm and project team’s qualifications and experience working on similar, relevant, or related projects that were completed, as outlined in Section Preliminary Scope of Work. If utilizing any subconsultants and/or subcontractors, describe their qualifications working on similar, relevant, or related projects that were completed, as outlined in Section Preliminary Scope of Work.
2. Design and Work Schedule – 45 points
Design Requirements:
Service Life: The materials and construction methods chosen must ensure that the repair will perform adequately for at least 75 years. This includes selecting materials with long-term durability and designing for environmental conditions.
Design Demonstration: The vendor must provide design and calculations, drawings, and specifications to demonstrate that the wall system will perform as required.
Project Completion Schedule:
Deadline: The project must be completed by December 2025.
This requires detailed project planning, including procurement of materials, scheduling of construction activities, and contingency plans to handle any delays.
Construction Plan: A preliminary construction plan must be submitted with your proposal, showing timelines, resource allocation, and critical path activities to ensure completion by the specified date.
2 3. Cost Proposal – 35 points
Cost/Pricing is a factor in this selection. Proposers must complete and submit a lump sum contract price for the proposed design and construction. It is the Proposer’s responsibility to state all costs to provide the services outlined in Section Preliminary Scope of Work.
Costs shall include, but not be limited to, direct labor, overhead, fringe benefits, profit, subcontractors, other direct costs (ODC) such as materials, supplies, taxes, and travel. The responsive proposal with the lowest price will be given the full weight of points assigned to the pricing criteria.
3 The following is a review of the three received proposals based on the scoring method as indicated in the RFP:
1. Condon Johnson & Associates
• Qualifications, Expertise, and Experience:
o The team members presented in the proposal seem very well qualified and experienced. Several similar projects were included in the Project Experiences section of the proposal, including one local project in Jamestown, CA.
o Full points awarded in this category.
• Schedule:
o The proposal reflects a detailed understanding of the project requirements. o Example designs were included from a previous project. o A detailed schedule was provided, with construction ending in October, 2025.
o 3 points were deducted for the following reasons:
The scope of work excludes all permits (Addendum #1 explicitly states permits are the responsibility of the contractor).
The scope of work excludes v-ditch installation at the top of the wall, which may be a necessary part of the drainage design.
The scope of work excludes import/export of material. The scope of work excludes potholing, locating, and supporting of utilities.
The proposal implies that Mattley St will need to be closed for at least a portion of the construction phase.
• Cost:
o The scoring was calculated with the following formula: (lowest bid ÷ this bid) x 35
o This cost proposal was significantly higher than the other two bids submitted.
2. Access Limited Construction
• Qualifications, Expertise, and Experience:
o The team members presented in the proposal seem very well qualified and experienced. Three similar projects were included in the Project Experiences section of the proposal, all of which included soil nails and shotcrete walls alongside roadways.
o Full points awarded in this category.
4 • Schedule:
o The proposal reflects a detailed understanding of the project requirements. o Preliminary design documents are included in the proposal, specific to this project.
o A project schedule was provided, with estimated project duration of only 50 days from contract award (20 days of construction)
o The proposal indicates that Mattley St will remain open. o Full points awarded in this category.
• Cost:
o The scoring was calculated with the following formula: (lowest bid ÷ this bid) x 35
3. Harrison Western Construction
• Qualifications, Expertise, and Experience:
o The team members presented in the proposal seem very well qualified and experienced. Several similar projects were included in the Project Experiences section of the proposal, including two that included soil nails and shotcrete.
o 3 points were deducted for the following reasons:
The proposer if from out of State, and the presented projects were out of state.
Compared to the other two proposals, the project experience presented is less pertinent to the subject project.
• Schedule:
o The proposal reflects a detailed understanding of the project requirements. o A design description is presented in the proposal does not entirely match the intent given in the RFP. HWC is proposing an 8’ tall, 6” thick soil nail & shotcrete wall at the top of the slope, with the remaining 30 vertical feet to be stabilized with a high-strength mesh. This is most likely the reason for the lowest priced proposal.
o A timeline of 6-8 weeks is given in the proposal.
o 8 points were deducted for the following reasons:
The proposer did not include a detailed project schedule. The proposal implies that Mattley St will need to be closed for at least a portion of the construction phase.
The scope of work excludes export of material.
The scope of work excludes drainage trench installation at the top of the wall, which may be a necessary part of the drainage design. The scope of work excludes potholing & locating of utilities.
5 • Cost:
o The scoring was calculated with the following formula: (lowest bid ÷ this bid) x 35
o The cost proposal was the lowest bid, and based on the scoring method in the RFP they will receive the full 35 points.
Below is the scoring matrix for the three received proposals based on the scoring method as indicated in the RFP:

Council Meeting Memorandum
Monday, February 10, 2025 – 6:30 PM Regular Meeting
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Angie Ervin, Accounting Manager
Date: February 5, 2025
Agenda Item #4j: Current active grant list.
Recommendation
That the City Council receive an update on active grants.
Discussion
The City maintains a number of grant funded projects. As of December 31, 2024, the award total of approximately $4.2 million has a remaining balance of approximately $1.3 million. Many of the City’s capital improvement projects have been relying on grant funding, such as the South Avenue Bridge replacement, Pitt Street Bridge replacement and the HSIPL street light project.
Other Grants have helped fund the City’s Parks and Recreational improvement projects. The Equitable Community Revitalization Grant is helping to bring the Oro de Amador project up to “shovel ready” status in preparation for the next round of grants available for construction purposes. The Per Capita Program Grant has made it possible for the City to make repairs to the Kennedy Tailing Wheels Park’s restroom and kiosk. This Grant also provided funding to make repairs and upgrades to the Detert Park Scout Hut and Parking Lot. Future renovations to Petrovick Park are also included in this Grant. Two Grants awarded to us by the State of California are for Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention. These Grants have funded the City’s homeless outreach programs. The City was awarded a grant from the State Water Resources Control Board to help fund the Water Reservoir Replacement project. This funding is to assist with the planning and design portion of the project as well as assistance in preparing the Grant application for construction.
The attached list is to help inform Council of the status of some very important projects that are dependent on grant funds.

Jason Mulford’s Application
Item 7b
12/10/2024 Applicant Statement for Vacant Planning Commission seat Jason Mulford
I’ve been married for almost 14 years to my amazing wife, Nichole Mulford, who also serves our community as the Executive Director of Victory Village, Inc. We have 3 beautiful children who were born here in Jackson. I’m a long-term resident and local business executive who would be honored to serve our amazing hometown. I’ve developed working relationships with local leaders, business owners, and public oƯicials that I can harness to get things done.
I moved to Jackson in 1988 and attended school here. I got my first job at the Swiss model bakery in 1989 on Main Street. Where I would wash dishes from 4:30 am to the time school started. My favorite job over my 34-year working career was when I joined the Marine Corps in 1995 and served for 5 years on active duty. I was severely injured during operations on the Southern Iraq border. I spent an additional 3 years on the Marines Temporary Disability Retirement List, where I underwent over 40 surgical procedures so I could walk again; I returned home to Jackson in late 2004 with an honorable discharge. I then earned my bachelor's Degree from Northwest Nazarene University and am in my second year of graduate business school. I will complete my Master of Business Administration next year from Columbia Southern. I also possess FEMA’s Professional Development series certification and General Construction license with training certifications from the Defense Acquisition University in Contracting OƯicer competency.
Over the last 13 years, I have worked at the executive level with Victory Village and various state and federal councils and committees; I have been a staunch advocate for veterans' legislation in Sacramento and Washington, DC. My leadership in a nonprofit corporation as a housing developer and general contractor has resulted in the design, acquisition, and development of multiple properties totaling 45 housing units with federal funds. I have successfully navigated the planning processes, including federal housing regulations, tribal heritage dig sites, environmental impact studies, traƯic impact, CEQA/NEPA, architecture reviews, and local zoning and planning commissions. Moreover, with our Headquarters in Jackson, I have secured multiple grants totaling over $12 million, including this new fiscal year, to fund 5 sites across 9 rural California counties. We have housed over 150 homeless veterans and their family members in Jackson and almost 1,000 veterans throughout the 9 counties over the last 13 years.
Thank you all for your time and consideration,
Jason Mulford

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council pass a motion to adopt Resolution No. 2025-01 approving the City’s Investment Policy for Calendar Year 2025.
DISCUSSION
The City Council is required by the California Government Code to annually consider the City’s Investment Policy at a public meeting. With approval of the investment policy, the City Manager or his designee is appointed to carry out the policy.
The City of Jackson currently invests its temporarily idle funds with the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and CalTRUST. Investment transactions with LAIF and CalTRUST involve only transfers between LAIF or CalTRUST and the City’s checking account. Authorized personnel do not write or authorize checks or receive checks or cash involved in the investment activity.
As of December 31, 2024, the City’s investment in LAIF and CalTRUST totaled $14,287,698.79. The interest rate on LAIF investments as of December was 4.62% and the interest rate on CalTRUST was
4.57%. These rates are higher than the previous year of 4.00% and 3.88%. These two types of investments are market driven and their yield rates are constantly fluctuating.
The City currently holds three CD’s. One was purchased in 2022 for $240,000.00. This CD has a term of 36 months at a rate of 3.100%. The second was purchased in 2023 for $240,000.00 with a term of 36 months at a rate of 5.000%. The third CD was purchased in 2024 for $249,000.00 with a term of 24 months at a rate of 4.150%. In the calendar year 2024, the City received $21,973.82 in interest income from this investment. The City has also established an interest-bearing Money Market account which is utilized for the holding and transfer of funds for the purchase of CD’s and CD interest. As of December 2024, the Money Market account had a yield of 4.11% and the City received $7,135.40 in interest.
It is recommended that the Council adopt Resolution 2025-03 Investment Policy for 2025. It resembles prior policy and continues to require that the City maintain a cash level to cover 6-months expenditure.

PURPOSE:
EXHIBIT "A"
STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
CITY OF JACKSON
This statement is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City's temporarily idle cash, and outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City's cash management system. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting its pooled cash.
OBJECTIVE:
The city's cash management system is designed to accurately monitor and forecast expenditures and revenues, thus enabling the City to invest funds to the fullest extent possible. The City attempts to obtain the highest yield obtainable as long as investments meet the criteria established for safety and liquidity.
SCOPE:
It is intended that this policy cover all funds and investment activities under the direct authority of the City of Jackson.
POLICIES:
General Rule: The City of Jackson operates its temporarily pooled idle cash investments under the prudent man rule (Civil Code Section 2261, et. seq.). This affords the City a broad spectrum of investment opportunities as long as the investment is deemed prudent and is allowable under current legislation of the State of California (Government Code Section 53600, et. seq.).
1. Safety: The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal, interest or a combination of these amounts. Safety is the most important criteria for deciding where and when to invest City monies.
2. Liquidity: This refers to the ability to convert the investment to cash at any time with a minimal chance of losing some portion of principal or interest.
3. Yield: This is the potential dollar earnings an investment can provide, and sometimes is described as the rate of return. Yield becomes a consideration only after the basic requirements of safety and liquidity have been met. Any investment in any security that could result in a zero interest accrual if held to maturity is prohibited.
GUID LINES OF AUTHORIZED I
I. Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). The investment with LAIF may not, by State regulation, exceed $40 million. LAIF transactions cannot exceed fifteen (15) per month.
2. Investment Trust of California (Ca!TRUST). CalTRUST is a Joint Powers Authority organized pursuant to the California Joint Exercise of Powers Act.
3. United States Treasury notes, bonds, bills, or certificates of indebtedness, or those for which the faith and credit of the United States are pledged for the payment of principal and interest.
4. Federal agency or United States government-sponsored enterprise obligations, participations, or other instruments, including those issued by or fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by federal agencies or United States government-sponsored enterprises.
5. Nonnegotiable certificates of deposit issued by a nationally chartered bank, a bank chartered by the State of California or a foreign banking corporation authorized pursuant to Section 1756 of the California Financial Code.
6. Negotiable certificates of deposit issued by a nationally or state-chartered bank, a savings association or a federal association, a state or federal credit union, or by a federally licensed or state-licensed branch of a foreign bank.
7. Deposits of any bank or savings and loan association provided such deposits are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
INVESTMENT PROGRAMS:
The City is required to annually hold a public meeting to consider the City's investment policy.
Previous City policy to invest all funds with the California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and CalTRUST has been modified for the future to include other programs. It is recommended to continue holding the majority of funds in Cal TRUST and LAIF to receive higher interest return and for more immediate access to funds while investing no more than 30% in other programs to achieve its fullest potential a balanced strategy.
At least quarterly, the City Council must be presented a report of City investments. The report shall also include a statement denoting the ability to meet the City's expenditure requirement for the next six months or provide an explanation as to why sufficient money shall, or may, not be available.
The City Council currently receives a monthly "Treasurer's Report." The monthly report provides Council with the combined balances of the investments satisfying this policy. The monthly report also includes a statement regarding the City's ability to meet the next six months expenditure requirements. The monthly report satisfies the Government Code's requirement that a report be made at least on a quarterly basis.

Agenda Item #7e: Placer.ai data analytics presentation
Recommendation:
The City Council receive and review a presentation on Placer.ai, a data analytics platform that quantifies traffic through Jackson to support economic development efforts.
Summary and Discussion:
Historically, the city has relied on population data alone for economic development, which does not reflect the actual number of people passing through. Without concrete traffic data, businesses may perceive Jackson as lacking customer volume to support new enterprises. Placer.ai measures visitor volume and demographics, offering insights to support business recruitment efforts.
Placer.ai provides real-time data analysis, streamlining information management and offering immediate insights into visitor traffic. This tool allows the city to prove that a sufficient customer base exists, making Jackson more attractive to businesses. Instead of relying on estimates, staff can present accurate data to potential investors, demonstrating economic viability.
Implementing Placer.ai enhances consistency, improves accuracy, and strengthens economic planning. Increased efficiency reduces reliance on manual tracking and supports marketing and infrastructure decisions. The tool also aids in grant applications when traffic volume is a factor and can be used to track attendance for special events such as Dandelion Days and the annual Car Show.

About Placer.ai:
● Placer is a location analytics software powered by mobile data. Placer monitors tens of millions of mobile devices across the United States to provide data on any physical location (retailer, park, event, downtown, etc.).
● Placer sources and curates this proprietary mobile data panel via direct relationships with mobile application partners. We only collect location data (no device IDs or PII) from those devices who download a partner app and opt in to 24/7 background location sharing.
Placer.ai Differentiators:
● Proprietary Mobile Data Panel: we are the only mobile data provider who sources and owns our panel entirely.
○ We do not buy aggregated mobile data sets from mobile data brokers and attach a user interface on the front.
○ This allows us the full capability to clean the data of all device IDs/PII to ensure we are unaffected by any changes to mobile data like iOS updates. ○ Other mobile data providers have experienced significant degradation in their data set and resulting accuracy as a result of such updates to mobile data. ○ We have not missed a day of data refresh on our 3-4 day lag since inception and do not expect any adverse effects of future mobile data changes due to our unique approach. ● Unlimited POIs: track as many POIs in Placer as you would like. You can draw your own geofences directly in the dashboard using the Create POI tool, or ask our team to draw them for you, and edit them at any time. These are not limited by geography either - you can draw geofences for any physical place in the US, subject to sensitive location restrictions (military bases, govt buildings, etc).
● Accuracy: Placer data has been and continues to be tested extensively by our prospective and current customers, including hundreds of DMOs and large retailers/restaurants like Target, Lowe’s, Publix, Raising Canes, and more. ● Consultative Relationship: via your Customer Success Manager, you will have access to training, regular meetings, best practices, etc to ensure you can easily and quickly get value from Placer data.

Agenda Item #7f: ClearGov budgeting software presentation Recommendation:
That City Council receive and review a presentation by budgeting software company Cleargov.
Summary and Discussion:
Historically, staff relied on Excel spreadsheets, handwritten notes, and verbal communication for budget development. While this approach has been effective, transitioning to an automated system could provide significant benefits.
A modern budgeting tool would allow for real-time data analysis, streamlined information management, and immediate calculations on various financial aspects of the city’s operations.
For example, assessing the overall impact of a cost-of-living adjustment could become significantly more efficient. Staff could input the data into the system and receive near-instant results, rather than spending hours manually adjusting spreadsheets.
Implementing this tool would enhance consistency, improve accuracy, and strengthen financial planning. Additionally, the increased efficiency would translate into cost savings for the city, making this investment both a practical and fiscally responsible decision.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Matt Ospital, City Engineer
RE: Stark Lane Bridge Replacement Project
DATE: February 10, 2025
BACKGROUND:
The Stark Lane Bridge incurred damage as a result of the January/February 2017 storm events.
Due to this damage, the load limit on the bridge was reduced to 5 tons and a steel plate was placed on top of the bridge deck to supply additional structural capacity. This load rating will not allow for a garbage or propane truck to cross the bridge.
The City requested funding from FEMA to repair the damage, but was denied due to their determination that the majority of the damage to the bridge was pre-existing before the additional storm damage occurred. A field review in 2017 has determined that the underside of the bridge deck is showing signs of deterioration by observance of concrete spalling and corrosion of the Ibeams and exposed rebar which has been occurring for some time.
DISCUSSION:
The Engineering team previously looked at options for rehabilitating/replacing the bridge along with estimated construction costs, costs since then have significantly increased. Below are the potential options and estimated costs:
1. Do nothing, not recommended.
2. Rehabilitate the existing bridge by removing and replacing the bridge deck a. total project cost is estimated at approximately $400,000
3. Replace bridge with a new pre-cast concrete structure a. total project cost is estimated at approximately $500,000.
The rehabilitation option would keep the existing abutments/midspan pier in place whereas the new pre-cast structure would have all new materials.
City staff is seeking input from Council on how they would like to address this project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Utilizing Local Transportation and Street Department funds, direct staff to finalize a design and prepare plans and specifications to solicit bids for the project.
