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.

Fire Chief, Ryan Pidgeon – Reported that the July 3rd event was successful with no fire-related issues. He thanked CAL FIRE, Mokelumne Hill Fire Department, and the Amador Fire Protection District for providing standby assistance during the event. Chief Pidgeon also reported that the department responded to two small vegetation fires during the past month, both of which were quickly contained by crews. He noted that recent vegetation clearing by a property owner helped prevent one fire from becoming more significant, emphasizing the importance of ongoing weed and grass abatement.

Police Chief, Chris Mynderup – Reported that the July 3 celebration was well attended and concluded without significant public safety issues. He thanked Warden Lewis Garika and staff from Mule Creek State Prison for providing additional patrol personnel at the park, noting their presence helped deter illegal aerial fireworks. Chief Mynderup also recognized Officer Jordan Thurman for successfully preparing and submitting a competitive Cannabis Tax Fund Grant application. The City was awarded $89,257 to support DUI enforcement efforts, including a dedicated DUI patrol vehicle, saturation patrols, officer training, and new preliminary breath testing devices, with funding supporting the program for one year.

City Attorney, Joshua Nelson – No report.

5. COUNCIL REPORTS.

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

Councilmember Gonsalves – Reported that the inaugural July 3rd parade was a great success, with approximately 50 entries and strong spectator attendance.

DISCUSSION CALENDAR.
a. Presentation from the Environmental Protection Agency on the Argonaut Mine Superfund Site removal of residential contaminated soil plan for 2026 [Sania Kamran, Remedial Project Manager].

EPA representatives provided an update on the Argonaut Mine Superfund residential yard cleanup, including anticipated schedules, haul routes, traffic controls, soil removal, testing, replacement, and property restoration. Cleanup will initially focus on properties with the highest levels of arsenic, lead, and mercury, with additional sampling continuing throughout the study area. EPA stated that contaminated

____ July 13, 2026 City Council Meeting Minutes__
soil would generally be removed to a depth of two feet and replaced with tested clean soil, with protective barriers installed where contamination remains below that depth.

Mayor Simmons called for public comment.

Several affected residents spoke, raising concerns regarding health risks, dust, cleanup timelines, property restoration, future excavation, disclosure requirements, deed restrictions, and potential impacts on property values. EPA representatives responded to questions and agreed to continue coordinating directly with residents and property owners.

City Engineer Matt Ospital asked about requirements for future underground infrastructure projects within the cleanup area. EPA representatives stated that the City should coordinate with EPA regarding soil testing and disposal. EPA also confirmed that road impacts from cleanup equipment would be minimized and any damage repaired.

To listen to the discussion in its entirety, please visit the City website at https://www.ci.jackson.ca.us/ and visit the City Clerk and Records page for a link to the video repository.

Mayor Simmons called for a 5-minute break before the next item. b. Presentation from the Amador County Assessors’ Office on 2026 Assessment Information [Jim Rooney, Amador County Assessor].

Amador County Assessor Jim Rooney presented the annual property assessment update, noting a 2% Proposition 13 adjustment for most properties. Countywide assessed values increased 3.01%, while Jackson’s increased 1.83%. He reported that Jackson has 1,531 residences, including 924 primary residences, and noted a countywide decline in primary residences. Assistant Assessor Jeff Himmelman explained Proposition 19 property-tax transfers. Residents may contact the Assessor’s Office to request a review of their property assessment.
c. Receive, discuss and provide direction regarding (verbal) report from the Homeless Outreach Coordinator regarding the City’s response to outreach efforts and services [Christine Platt].

Homeless Outreach Coordinator Christine Platt reported completing and submitting the City’s Encampment Resolution Fund Round 5 grant application. She continues covering both outreach positions while the Assistant Outreach Coordinator remains on medical leave. Positive client outcomes included one client entering a treatment program, one moving from shelter into permanent housing, and two others continuing to do well in their programs. Platt also hosted a barbecue for clients with support from the Police Chief and community partners. She expects to resume regular outreach activities and provide updated program data next month.
d. Review two applications from the Jackson Lions Club and possible award of FY 26/27 Measure E / TOT monies [Alan McNany, Jackson Lions Club Treasurer].

Mayor Simmons and Councilmember Gonsalves disclosed conflicts of interest regarding the Jackson Lions Club applications and recused themselves from this part of the meeting and left the building.

Alan McNany spoke on behalf of the Jackson Lions Club about their request for $8,000 in TOT funding to support the annual Fourth of July fireworks show. He reported that this year's event was highly

____ July 13, 2026 City Council Meeting Minutes__
successful, with record attendance attributed to the City's parade and downtown festivities and thanked public safety agencies for their support. He noted the event cost approximately $30,000, with funding provided through fireworks booth sales, an $8,000 donation from Jackson Rancheria, and community partnerships. McNany stated that the requested TOT funding would help enhance future fireworks displays and he highlighted the Lions Club's partnerships with local organizations.

Alan McNany also presented a $20,000 TOT funding request for removable safety bollards to protect pedestrians during downtown events such as parades, festivals, and the Car Show. He explained the bollards would ultimately become City property, though the Lions Club would manage the project and contribute additional funding.

Council members and staff expressed strong support for the concept but thought the proposal was premature, noting that further planning and coordination with City staff, public safety agencies, engineers, and event organizers was necessary before funding could be considered.

Vice Mayor McLean called for public comment.

Debbie Collins, Jackson resident, expressed support for the concept of removable safety bollards but questioned whether they are currently needed given the City's limited number of downtown events. She raised concerns regarding installation, impacts to the streets, storage, and emergency access, including who would have access to the keys. Collins stated she believes the proposal has merit but would benefit from additional planning before implementation.

Chief Mynderup noted that the City currently uses wooden barricades for street closures, but they can be easily moved. He recalled an incident during Dandelion Days in which an impaired driver drove through the barricades, emphasizing that such events can occur and that stronger safety measures are a worthwhile preventative investment.

Thornton Consolo, Jackson resident, expressed support for the removable bollard proposal, citing a similar system used successfully at his former high school. He suggested ensuring the bollards are highly visible to motorists and recommended considering additional warning devices, such as barricades, to reduce the risk of vehicles striking them. He encouraged further evaluation of the design and liability considerations and voiced overall support for the project.

Hearing no further public comment, the consensus of the council was to direct the Lions Club to further develop the bollard proposal for future consideration.

Vice Chair McLean called for a Motion.

Motion to Award Measure E/TOT grant money in the amount of $8,000 to the Jackson Lions Club. Moved by Councilmember Godde, seconded by Councilmember Sierra McLean, and carried by a 3 to 0 vote:

AYES: Steve McLean, Godde, Sierra McLean
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: Gonsalves, Simmons
Mayor Simmons and Councilmember Gonsalves rejoined the meeting.

Agenda Item #3d: Status Update on Active Grant List
Recommendation
That the City Council receive an update on active grants.

Discussion
The City maintains several grant funded projects. As of June 30, 2026, the award total of approximately $4.5 million has a remaining balance of approximately $610,786. 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 Petkovich 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 isto help inform Council of the status of some very important projects that are dependent on grant funds.

PROPOSAL FOR UPDATE TO

COST ALLOCATION PLAN

May 21, 2026
Angelica Ervin
City of Jackson
33 Broadway
Jackson, CA 95642
Subject: Proposal for update to Cost Allocation Plan
Dear Ms. Ervin,

HILDEBRAND
CO NSULT! NG

SENT VIA EMAIL
In response to your request, Hildebrand Consulting, LLC. is pleased to submit this proposal to update the City of Jackson's cost al location plan. I have over 24 years of experience as a consultant to municipal governments providing a broad range of financial, utility rate, and management consulting services. Hildebrand·Consulting has performed hundreds of studies covering a diverse �ange of cost allocation issues, user fee development, and financial planning for more than 60 clients. We developed the City's existing Cost Allocation Plan in 2020.

The objective of a cost allocation plan is to ensure that the City is accurately accounting for the full cost of providing central services to enterprise funds and that the rationale is defensible and supported by a well-documented administrative record. The 2020 study used the following steps:

1. Quantify the total costs for all internal services

2. Identify any services that are provided directly by internal services to an enterprise and allocate the associated costs directly to the respective enterprise

3. Develop metrics that reasonably measure the degree to which enterprise funds rely on internals services

4. Gather the data needed to measure the above metrics

5. Equitably allocate central service costs to the enterprises utilize those services The scope of the current study will be to update the cost al location report by updating the supporting metrics behind the cost allocation plan. This will ensure that the allocation of internal costs continues to be fair and equitable. We assume that the 2020 methodology will remain unchanged. The allocation metrics that will need to be updated include:
• Department budgets (total and salaries only)
• FTEs by department
• Agenda frequency by department
• Customer Service allocation

Proposal for 2026 Cost Al location Plan Update City of Jackson The updated results will be documented in a draft report for City staff consideration and feedback. The report will describe the methodologies used to calculate the proposed cost al locations. Following review and comment by City staff we will prepare a final report. The scope of work does not include any presentations to City Council.

We propose a not-to-exceed fee of $7,500. We will bill monthly based on actual time spent.

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this proposal. I appreciate the opportunity to be of service to the City.

Sincerely,
Hildebrand Consulting, LLC.

*Note: 1 516 Sutter St.(Ace Hardware Parking Lot) spill which was caused by a contractor’s negligence contributed 81,012gal to the total, 12,100 gal. to Portion Contained, and 68,912 gal. to Surface Waters In analyzing this data, there has been a drastic change since the implementation of the SSMP. This decrease is in large due to collection system staff pinpointing problem areas and either adding them to the hotspot maintenance program and/or adding them to the Capital Improvement Plan. Another benefiting factor is the CCTV and Cleaning Project which started toward the end of F/Y 17/18. Our annual spill rate per 100 miles for F/Y 16/17 was 44.9 and in F/Y 25/26 it was 16.6. Debris and FOG is currently our most prominent cause for spills. Staff has made an emphasis to go door to door when a spill is determined to be caused by non-disposable wipes, grease, cloth rags, etc. and hand out flyers discouraging flushing certain items.

Hotspots
Public works implemented a hotspot program at the beginning of fiscal year 17/18. This program has grown and evolved since then. The hotspot program includes sewer mains that have a history of frequent spills and requires routine maintenance to be completed each quarter to prevent spills. Each hotspot location is CCTV’d to assess its current condition and cleaned on an as needed basis. During each CCTV assessment the crew identifies problems with the line documenting a description of the problem and the precise location. This documentation is then used to determine which sections of pipe need to be cleaned, which equipment is best suited to clean the pipe whether it’s a root saw, a retriever tool, flushing, or the hydro jetter, the information is also used to determine the method and extent of repair or replacement. Every spill that occurs is assessed and considered for addition to the hotspot program. In FY 25/26 public works CCTV’d an average of 3,022LF and cleaned an average of 2,605LF each quarter of hotspot mains. The hotspot program currently consists of 19 hotspots and takes approximately 70+ man hours to complete each quarter.

CCTV/Cleaning Project
This project was put together in-house and contracted out in F/Y 17/18. This was a five year project that consisted of cleaning and assessing all city sewer mains, manholes, and appurtenances. Staff feels this project reduced spills, located points of inflow or infiltration, increased the lifespan of the collection system, helped in prioritizing capital improvement projects, as well as, gave us much more information on our system to update our existing asset record system. The Project successfully completed the assessment and cleaning of 127,920LF(24.22 Miles) of main, 570 manholes, and 64 lampholes. Upon completion of each phase of the project the contractor was required to submit a digital report and video on each individual segment(manhole to manhole) of main. The digital reports have been attached to our GIS mapping system so staff can have access to critical data in the field such as the type of pipe, size, length, slope, where and how many lateral connections are on the line, as well as, the condition of the pipe (including photos) when it was assessed. Furthermore, the data collected during the project is being used to update the CIP. This project has began again and will continue through 2029. In FY25/26 the contractor cleaned and assessed 28,360lf of sewer main, 114 manholes and 12 lampholes.

Capital Improvements
The City adopted new sewer rates in November 2024. With reserves already established the new rates will allow for more Capital Improvement Projects. Much of the collection system is still smaller sized 4”-6” Clay(VCP) pipe that was installed anywhere from the 1800s to 1970. Depending on the era they were installed many of them are shallow with cleanouts instead of manholes which causes some design challenges when replacing them. With any capital improvement project, consideration of the condition of other utilities and the street surface is vital. However, coordinating these projects together is a difficult and lengthy process between budget constraints, physical locations and elevations of the utilities, and sequencing of work to mitigate down time and inconvenience to residents and businesses. In today’s time we do have some trenchless options for sewer replacement and/or rehabilitation. These options will not work for every situation but are very useful in some situations such as easements, creek crossings, lines that have some structural defects but are mostly intact.

Bursting is a method where the existing pipe remains in place and is broken up while simultaneously pulling a new pipe through the same path. Lateral connections will still need to be dug up and reconnected. Another Table 5 CCTV and Cleaning Completed

method is cure in place pipe or CIPP. This method involves lining the existing pipe with a combination of felt and resin which molds itself to the pipe. With this method it is possible to reconnect laterals without digging.

In FY 25/26 Public works was able to complete five capital improvement projects.

The Buena Vista Project included the replacement of sewer, water, and storm drain systems. In regard to sewer, the project replaced and relocated 640lf of 6” AC main, 1 manhole, 2 lamp holes, and 10 lateral connections.

The existing sewer main had sags, root intrusion, and infiltration at lateral connections. The new 6” SDR35(PVC) sewer main was installed by trenching and reconnecting to existing manholes, private laterals were reconnected, and one manhole was relocated and replaced to give adequate separation from the water main.

The Clinton Road Sewer Project relocated and replaced 560lf of VCP sewer main and 2 manholes. The existing main has a history of frequent large category 1 spills due to large sags which collected large pockets of fats, oils, and grease(FOG). The line was part of our hotspot program and was difficult to manage due to its location and the amount of FOG materials that collected on a regular basis. The new 6” SDR-35 sewer main was installed by trenching and two manholes were relocated and replaced.

The Bright and Pitt Sewer Project replaced ~870lf of 4" VCP and Orangeburg between 152 Bright Ave and Manhole PB001 located on Pitt St. This main has had a long history of spills caused by root intrusion, broken pipe, and has been on the Hotpot Maintenance Program for years. Due to the lack of depth, number of connections, inadequate maintenance access, the main was redesigned and replaced by trenching and installing 6" SDR 35. One manhole was replaced, three manholes and a lamphole were added, and 8 private laterals were reconnected.

Anita St. had a section of roughly 20lf replaced. This section of main had multiple laterals coming together with multiple direction changes in the main. The line had a long history of spills and was difficult to clean. A manhole was placed to simplify the lateral connections and to give better access for future maintenance. The rest of the main ~100lf from the new manhole downstream to the next manhole was lined.

Ralphs alley had a history of spills due to roots and broken pipe. The broken sections were repaired and the approximately 500lf main was lined.

Private Lateral Program
The City implemented a private sewer lateral grant program in FY 19/20. This program is pursuant to an agreement made with the Regional Board (Order R5-2018-0517) to offset 50% of a previous fine. This program is available to Jackson citizens at or below the median income level to assist them with repairing or replacing their sewer lateral. The City feels this program is beneficial to both citizens and the City given that it may reduce inflow and infiltration, as well as, backups and spills from private laterals. The City completed the project by utilizing an existing Community Development Block Grant fund, as well as, Order R5-2018-0517 funds and were able to replace/repair six private laterals in FY 21/22. Due to the success of this program the City chose to continue the program using funds from another stipulated order R5-2017-0606. In FY 22/23 the City was able to complete 4 private lateral projects and exhausted the funds. It is recommended that this program is considered for future CDBG funds.

9 Regulation Changes
SWRCB passed a revision to the general order dated 12-6-2022. This revision required all collection systems to convert their OERP(Overflow Emergency Response Plan) to an SERP(Spill Emergency Response Plan). This revision changed some of our procedures including how we report sanitary sewer spills, the time frames in which spills are reported, and surface water sampling for spills that enter a waterway of the state. The City also completed a revision of the lift station ERPs to align with the new regulations. The new SERP and Lift Station ERPs has been in place for a couple of years and staff is routinely trained on the plans.

During FY25/26 City Staff conducted a comprehensive and complete update to the City’s SSMP adhering to State Water Board Order No. WQ 2022-0103-DWQ. The update was done entirely in-house to save costs. Key changes made to the SSMP to meet regulatory requirements included global terminology and definition, climate change resilience and adaptation, integrated water quality monitoring, technical reporting, and program audits and recertification. The update also includes changes of procedures, protocols, system statistics and attributes, and staff structure. On May 27th, 2026 City Council approved and adopted the updated SSMP. The next SSMP Audit is due 11-2-2028 and the next recertification is due 5-2-2032.

Conclusion
The City continues to improve how it manages and operates its collection system. Council, Management, and Staff are taking SSMP very seriously. Improving the collection system’s condition has become a priority.

Council through the budget process allocates approximately $1,000,000 a year to implement capital improvement projects and other activities. The City implemented the hotspot program, conducted CCTV and cleaning activities, smoke tested suspected areas of I/I, completed capital improvement projects, has maintained regulatory compliance, and has developed a grant program to help the residents with repairing their sewer laterals. All of these are progresses. With Council and management’s support, staff hopes that spills and infiltration/inflow will continue to decline in the coming years.

Meeting Memorandum
Thursday, August 13, 2026 – 6:30 PM Adjournment Meeting To: Honorable Mayor, Vice Mayor & City Councilmembers
From: Daphne Parker, Pool Director
Date: August 5, 2026
​Jackson Pool End of Season Review
Recommendation
● Appreciation for lifeguards and supporting City staff. ● Presentation of the 2026 Golden Whistle Award.

Summary
This agenda item is dedicated to recognizing the outstanding efforts of the Jackson Pool staff during the 2026 season. Throughout the summer, lifeguards and supporting City staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism, leadership, teamwork, and commitment to providing a safe and welcoming environment for the community.

To honor these contributions, the City will recognize several staff members for their exemplary service and present the 2026 Golden Whistle Award to the employee who best exemplified excellence in safety, dependability, leadership, and dedication throughout the season.

The comprehensive 2026 Pool Season Recap, including operational highlights, attendance statistics, program accomplishments, and the season's financial breakdown, will be presented at the next City Council meeting. This meeting is intended solely to recognize and celebrate the outstanding accomplishments of the Jackson Pool staff.

Awards
Instead of recognizing just one outstanding employee, I would like to present three awards to staff members who truly went above and beyond this season.

The first award is presented to my Manager, Gavin Mynderup. Throughout his three years at the Jackson Pool, Gavin has continued to grow both personally and professionally. Each season he brings stronger leadership, new ideas, and an outstanding work ethic to our team. He is someone the entire staff can depend on, no matter the situation.

In addition to his exceptional managerial responsibilities, Gavin responded to two significant medical emergencies this summer. Using his training effectively and confidently, he helped ensure the safety of our patrons while maintaining a calm and controlled environment. His professionalism, reliability, and commitment to the program make him incredibly deserving of this recognition.

The second award is presented to Kaylee Cronin. Although this was only her second season with us, Kaylee consistently demonstrated exceptional work ethic, leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills. She takes pride in making sure the pool environment is both safe and welcoming for everyone who visits. She has become a leader among her peers and is someone younger staff naturally look to for guidance. Her positive attitude and dedication have made a lasting impact on our team.

Finally, it is my honor to present the 2026 Golden Whistle Award to Paitlee Cross.

Although Paitlee earned her lifeguard certification this year, she has been part of our program for much longer, previously teaching swim lessons with Jackson Pool. Even then, she stood out for her patience, compassion, and dedication—especially while teaching in the baby pool, where she frequently received compliments from parents.

This season, Paitlee took the initiative to become lifeguard certified and embraced every opportunity to improve. She attended every in-service training available, eagerly accepted additional responsibilities, and transitioned into teaching in the deep end, where she continued to receive outstanding feedback from participants and families.

What impressed me most was her attentiveness while lifeguarding. Paitlee was always prepared, rescue-ready, and fully focused on patron safety. She consistently looked for ways to learn, grow, and help wherever she was needed. Her dedication, professionalism, and commitment to excellence embody everything the Golden Whistle Award represents.

Congratulations to Gavin, Kaylee, and Paitlee. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and the positive impact you've made on the Jackson Pool this season. I am incredibly proud of everything you have accomplished, and I look forward to seeing each of you continue to grow as leaders in our program.

Thursday, August 13, 2026 - 6:30 PM Adjournment Meeting To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Christopher Mynderup, Chief of Police/Interim City Manager Date: July 22, 2026
Agenda Item : FY2026-2027 Operating Budget & Capitol Improvement Budget RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the Proposed FY 2026-2027 Budget through Accompanying Resolutions.

DISCUSSION:

Team Jackson successfully concluded Fiscal Year 2025-2026, achieving departmental goals. Staff delivered numerous projects and services aligned with Council priorities and financial policies. The proposed FY2026-2027 budget is designed to maintain essential service levels, address top priorities, and incorporate increased labor and operational costs.

The City’s financial outlook is concerning due to inflationary pressures driving up costs for goods, utilities, and unexpected projects. Unfunded pension liabilities and rising PERS contributions also pose ongoing fiscal challenges. Despite these factors, the City Continues to leverage grants and creative solutions to address deferred maintenance needs and support key initiatives. We thank the City Council and staff for their commitments to excellence and public service.

In FY 2025-2026, several grant-funded projects enhanced infrastructure, planning, and service delivery. These included ongoing rehab to fire engine #6332, the Petkovich Park project is budgeted for $62,500 with $50,000 from the State and a $12,500 City match for the Park Per Capita Grant. The City also utilized $151,038 through ATCAA’s Homeless Outreach Services Grant (Fund 468), which remains active through June 30, 2028, with $127,083 available. The Homeless Shower Grant was reapplied for and awarded $100,00 and the remaining balance is $58, 925. The Water Reservoir replacement project is a grant in the amount of $495,574 for the design, which was awarded last fiscal year, and we have incurred costs totaling $475,766 and will finish the fiscal year.

The FY 2025-2026 budget continues a conservative but strategic approach, supporting City council initiatives, delivering essential services, and addressing health, safety, and quality of life concerns. Additional emphasis is placed on economic development, particularly related to small business retention and attraction. Loss of major sales tax continues to contribute to declining revenues, which is concerning. The City will be looking for additional ways to generate revenue.

General Fund expenditures prioritize safety and infrastructure. Police services remain the City’s largest General Fund expenses. The department continues its homeless outreach program, expanded parking enforcement with reserve officer and community service officer support, and faces rising costs for animal shelter services and legal compliance related to animal control. The Fire Department is supported by both volunteers and fulltime staff, with operations and equipment funded through the General Fund and Measure M, respectively. Fire responses in FY 2025-2026 are primarily medical in nature. Equipment upgrades and vehicle refurbishments are ongoing.

Streets and Drainage reflect the City’s focus on repaving projects, sewer and water line replacements, and stormwater drainage improvements, such as the nearly completed Sutter Street project in partnership with DTSC. Administration includes the City Manager’s Office, Finance, Legal, and general operations. The City Council increased spending, though TOT and Measure E funds for the 2025-2026 fiscal year to complete the Mattley Hillside stabilization and beautification project and the Main Street slurry seal project. TOT and Measure E spending will return to status quo for 2026-2027 fiscal year and will support promotional efforts and local business initiatives including façade improvements.

Other departments include Parks, which oversee four public parks and related grantfunded improvement projects. Building and Code Enforcement maintains steady staffing levels and continues to address life, health, and safety violations, with particular focus on fire hazard abatements. Planning is consultant-led and includes CEQA compliance, annexation work, and LAFCO contributions. Engineering costs are distributed through departments utilizing the consultant services. The department supports citywide infrastructure through contracted services, including Main St. traffic reconfiguration and drainage improvements. The Civic Center covers operational and utility costs for City Hall and public meeting spaces. The Cemetery is maintained by Public Works staff with support from the City Cemetery Committee and Simmon’s Landscaping.

Special Revenue Funds include Measure M, which supports seven full-time fire personnel including the Fire Chief. SB-1 funds, anticipated at $141,554, which will be used for the Stark Lane Bridge replacement project.

Enterprise Funds cover Water, Sewer, and Pool operations. These services are designed to be self-sustaining and supported by ratepayers. Recent rate adjustments have stabilized Water and Sewer funds. Planned water projects include meter replacements, tank upgrades, and software improvements. Sewer operations include capital projects and completion of roof repairs, which were completed in FY 2025-2026. The Buena Vista sewer and water line replacements were completed in FY 2025-2026 along with several others.

The Pool Fund, while operating as an enterprise fund, requires ongoing City support due to

structural deficits. The pool will require a substantial structural repair going into FY 2026- 2027 and grant funding opportunities will be researched.

City Council continues to focus on seven strategic priorities: fiscal stability, public safety, infrastructure, government and organization, economic development, environment and quality of life, and regional collaboration. These priorities guided the city through FY 2025- 2026 and will remain a focus in FY 2026-2027. A complete list of team accomplishments is included in Exhibit II.

General Fund:

The General Fund accounts for all financial resources except those required by law or practice to be accounted for in another fund. It supports many of the most visible and essential City services, such as police, fire, road maintenance, city facilities, City Council, Administration, City Attorney, Parks, Building/Code Enforcement, Drainage, Planning, and Engineering.

Major sources contributing to the General Fund include property taxes, franchise taxes, and transient occupancy taxes. State and County funding revenue sources include sales tax, gas tax, SLESF (Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund), and other grant funds.

Business license fees, zoning applications, plan review, and building inspection fees constitute license and permit revenues. Fund transfers from the water and sewer departments will occur to cover overhead costs supporting enterprise fund operations.

For FY 2026-2027, we expect minimal growth in property taxes, sales taxes, and statedistributed revenues. Permit revenues are expected to remain flat. Projected revenues for FY 2026-2027 are projected to reach $6,000,000.

The following chart illustrates the General Fund revenue breakdown:

The General Fund reserve has been depleted but anticipates recovery through conservative spending and growing revenues.

G.F. Expenditures by Department:

The FY 2026-2027 budget prioritizes safety and infrastructure.

General Fund expenditures include the following departments or functions: City Council, Administration, City Attorney, Civic Center, Police, Fire, Streets & Drainage, Parks, Building/Code Enforcement, Planning, and Engineering Services. A chart illustrating each department can be found at the end of this section.

The Administration Department covers expenses for the City Manager’s Office, the Finance and Accounting functions, the City Attorney, and miscellaneous overhead.

Civic Center:

This portion of the budget covers the operational costs for police and city administrative departments, including the Civic Center meeting hall. In addition to city meetings, the Civic Center also houses a variety of other public and private gatherings. The Civic Center budget also covers utility costs for all city hall offices.

GENERAL FUND REVENUES BY SOURCE $6,176,363

Council:

The City of Jackson operates under a council/manager form of government. The fivemember City Council is the city’s governing body. The Council appoints the City Manager, who implements the Council’s policies. The Council has the following legislative priorities:
fiscal responsibility, public safety, economic development, and quality of life. Most expenses under this department are routine and remain status quo in FY 2026-2027.

The TOT/Measure E funds are in a discretionary expenditure account administered by the City Council. Measure E funds are intended to support efforts promoting business and tourism development. The revenues are derived from transient occupancy taxes. For FY 2026-2027 Council awarded several TOT/Measure E Grants in the amount of $90,000 to support economic development.

Streets & Drainage:

In FY 2026-2027, operational expenses are expected to rise from previous years, reflecting the Council’s focus on infrastructure maintenance and improvements. Staff intend to Parks:

The Park Fund covers the daily maintenance and operation of four city parks: Detert Park, a regional multi-purpose park; and three smaller parks, including Kennedy Tailing Wheels Park (which contains historic gold mine wheel displays and a dog park), Petkovich Park, and Gold Ridge Neighborhood Park. The Parks Department also includes some Oro De Amador property-related costs, such as testing fees and state permit costs. The city received a Per Capita Grant, which is used to improve city parks. A list of projects, including park infrastructure improvements, will take place under separate funds, utilizing the grant fund and some park-in-lieu dollars. See the CIP list for further information. Swimming programs are budgeted under a separate swimming pool fund.

Cemetery:

The city owns a 20-acre cemetery. The Cemetery Committee meets monthly to provide recommendations on operational needs. This budget function has a small budget, with city Public Works employees maintaining the cemetery. A Sexton handles paperwork and plot inquiries. In October 2023, the cemetery joined the Amador Community Foundation.

Building/Code Enforcement:

In FY 2025-2026, the Building Department issued building, transportation, or utility permits, of which 46 were solar permits resulting in an increase from 32 last year. Two permits were issued for accessory dwellings. It is anticipated that building activities will experience low activity levels in FY 2026-2027. Abatement efforts will continue in response to wildfire concerns. Code Enforcement efforts will continue with a focus on life, health, and safety.

Engineering:

City Engineer services are provided by a qualified contract company. Their expenses are accounted for in different funds based on activities. Under the City Engineer, the General Fund covers activities such as streets and drainage, city hall, and park improvements. The city also has a few ongoing federally funded projects, including two separate bridge replacements. These projects are kept in designated funds. The City Engineer is slated to support the city with the Sutter Street stormwater drainage system improvement project in FY 2025-2026. Additional service provided by our City Engineer includes ongoing Traffic Study on Main St. to determine the feasibility changing traffic to a one-way configuration improving vehicular flow and pedestrian safety.

Planning:

Planning services are primarily provided by qualified consultants. The budget reflects the consultants’ costs. The department also handles the City’s CEQA needs for city projects.

Development-related costs are cost-recoverable according to city policy. The city’s contribution to LAFCO is also budgeted under the Planning Department. The City anticipates the annexation of the Kennedy Mine in FY 2026-2027.

Police:

The Police Department represents the largest total expenditure among all General Fund departments. During FY 2025-2026 the Police Department handled 11,138 incidents, which includes 3209 calls for service and 7848 officer-initiated incidents. 328 misdemeanor and 123 felony arrests were made and 2585 traffic stops were conducted with 724 citations issued.

The Department has hosted the homeless outreach program since 2019. Since the program’s inception it has effectively reduced calls for services and decreased homelessness. FY 2025-2026 saw an approximate 22% decrease in homeless related calls with 684 reported compared to FY 2024-2025 with 879 homeless related calls. The program continues to operate its bi-weekly homeless shower project. In FY 2026-2027, the program applied for a California State encampment grant that will provide funding to establish a sanctioned camping area for homeless individuals.

The department continues with citywide parking enforcement, with reserve and community service officers added as a creative means to address illegal parking.

FY 2025-2026 saw the return of the Police Department’s Cadet program while joining the Fire Department for a combined police/fire cadet program. FY 2025-2026 also saw the return of the D.A.R.E. program for our fifth grade students at Jackson Elementary.

Fees paid to Amador County for animal shelter services continue to be a challenge at $862 dollars per animal intake. Additionally, legal costs associated with carrying out due process rights of owners for confiscated quarantined animals have resulted in increases.

The Department continues to comply with state mandates regarding officers’ conduct, equipment, and records. Its operation continues to meet state law enforcement audit requirements.

Fire:

During FY 2025-2026, the Jackson Fire Department continued to make significant investments in equipment, technology, firefighter safety, and operational readiness while responding to more than 2,000 calls for service annually. Engine 6332 entered production for its complete refurbishment at Fire Trucks Unlimited, ensuring the department's frontline apparatus remains reliable for years to come. Tablet Command was implemented across the engine companies, chief officers' vehicles, and Utility 6346, enhancing incident management, situational awareness, and access to critical response information. Utility 6346 was placed into service as a EMS response vehicle, fully equipped with medical equipment to reduce unnecessary wear and tear on the department's fire engine during medical and other non-fire incidents. Communications infrastructure was modernized by installing Starlink internet service and an upgraded phone system integrated with the City's network at both fire stations. The department also replaced its aging 20-plus-year-old gaspowered extrication equipment with a second set of modern battery-operated rescue tools, improving reliability and reducing deployment times. Through a Cal Fire grant, every firefighter received new structural firefighting boots, enhancing both safety and comfort.

Additionally, the department implemented a cancer reduction initiative by providing firefighters with immediate access to clean structural firefighting hoods following IDLH incidents.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUND:

Measure M:

The proposed Measure M expenditure reflects personnel costs for seven full-time fire employees, including a new Fire Chief.

SB-1:

TOT and SB-1 funds were leveraged in the completion of Mattley Street slope. Anticipated SB-1 funds for FY 26-27 total $141,554. In FY 26-27 Additional funds will be used for the Starks Lane bridge replacement

Development Impact Fees (DIF) and Participation Fees:

The City has been collecting DIF and Participation Fees and plans to utilize some of these fees for eligible projects.

ENTERPRISE FUND:

The Enterprise Fund or Proprietary Fund includes Water, Sewer, and Swimming Pool funds.

All funds are intended to be financially self-sufficient and supported by those who use the systems or services. Both sewer and water rates have been updated within the last five years, bringing financial stability to both funds.

Water:

Updated water rates were implemented in FY 2025-2026 to offset the Amador Water Agency’s wholesale rate increase. Several large expenses are planned, including water meter replacement, software updates, storage tank replacement, pump replacement, and water line improvement projects. The Water Rate Study was completed and implemented as of July 1, 2026 and includes adjustments for the Amador Water Agency’s rate increases in the next five years along with updated CIP and the eventual project for a new 2-milliongallon water reservoir. The Buena Vista water line was completed in FY 2025-2026 Sewer:

This fund covers both the treatment and the sewer collection operations. In FY 2025-2026, efforts to maintain and improve operations at the treatment plant and the collection system continued. In FY 2025-2026, the city completed additional capital improvement projects for the collection and treatment sides. Extensive roof repairs to the Wastewater Treatment facility were completed and the sewer line replacement on Buena Vista was more extensive than anticipated.

Pool:

The Pool Fund is considered an enterprise fund. This important recreation facility serves Jackson residents and others in the area. It is used for city programs and school and private youth swim teams. To support these uses, the pool stays open for ten months annually.

However, the Pool Fund is not solvent and consistently requires a net contribution continuing to increase. The pool programs brought back in house two years ago have been more effective under city operation and are anticipated to continue in FY 2026-2027.

The following chart illustrates the General Fund Expenditures breakdown.

FINAL REMARKS AND EXHIBITS:

In FY 2025-2026, the City Council continued with seven priority areas: fiscal stability, public safety, infrastructure, organization, economic development, environment, and regional collaboration. Focusing on these areas has led to a productive year and improved financial health.

It is anticipated that the Council will continue to focus on these areas, emphasizing public safety, infrastructure, and economic development in FY 2026-2027. A list of team accomplishments for FY 2025-2026 is provided below. We look forward to a productive year in FY 2026-2027.
