City Manager Begbie stated that the fire hydrant in front of Marlene and Glen’s has been repaired and said that it would be paid for with CIRA flex funds. He also informed the council that City staff has discovered loans that the City gave out years ago and the City is looking to try to recover those loaned funds. City Manager Begbie also stated that after getting three different bids, a Ford F-350 truck was purchased for the City. He explained that the purchase of this truck saves the City money by allowing City staff to haul equipment and to have the ability to complete work without having to contract it out. He stated that is has already allowed City staff to haul our vac trailer to fix a water leak in town. City Manager Begbie informed the council that City Attorney was not available for our next regularly scheduled City Council meeting. It was decided that the September 24th meeting would be cancelled and there would tentatively be a Special City Council Meeting on September 23rd.

Stephanie Moreno felt the truck purchase was hidden and asked where it was in the budget. She also stated that she felt things were happening behind the scenes. Ms. Moreno stated she would like the council to make sure the City Manager followed the rules.

Rosemarie Moody asked why the City was having a special meeting instead of just waiting until October. Council Member Cranford explained there were time sensitive items that needed to be addressed before October. Ms. Moody asked why the item wasn’t on this agenda. Council Member September 10, 2026 MINUTES 3
Bottomley and City Manager Begbie both explained to her that the ACTC project was time sensitive and the City Attorney was still reviewing this item, so it could not be placed on tonight’s agenda.

Robert Moody asked if the pavement that ACTC was going to do was thick or if it was going to be so thin it would crack and chip away. He wanted to know if the road would be able to bear the weight of heavy trucks that drive on it.

6.1 PUBLIC HEARINGS

7.1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.1
09/23/2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of Rejection of Bid for the Old Sacramento Road Rehabilitation Project and Direction Regarding Cooperative Roadway Improvements
DEPARTMENT: City Manager’s Office
STAFF: Cameron Begbie, City Manager

BACKGROUND
In August 2026, the City issued a Request for Bids for rehabilitation work on Old Sacramento Road. Bids were opened on September 1, 2026, with Campbell’s Construction submitting the lowest responsive bid within the requirements and parameters established by the RFP.

Shortly before the scheduled bid opening, City staff learned of an opportunity through the Amador County Transportation Commission (ACTC) to participate in a separate, but potentially overlapping, pavement rehabilitation project on Old Sacramento Road, generally extending from Main Street toward Latrobe Road. This opportunity materially changes the circumstances underlying the City’s original solicitation by allowing the City to leverage local funds with outside transportation funding and County resources.

Under a temporary Cooperative Intergovernmental Agreement with Amador County, the City would contribute approximately $100,000 in matching funds toward targeted digout repairs on some of the most deteriorated portions of Old Sacramento Road.

The work would generally include removal of failed, alligator-cracked, or otherwise unstable pavement; excavation and removal of unsuitable material as necessary; preparation and compaction of the existing subgrade; placement and compaction of new aggregate base and hot mix asphalt; and appropriate traffic control during construction.

ACTC has advised staff that the project funding is earmarked specifically for improvements to Old Sacramento Road.

The cooperative project would allow the City to accomplish a broader and more substantial scope of roadway improvements than the City could reasonably undertake using City funds alone under the existing procurement. Given the condition of Old CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.1
09/23/2026
Sacramento Road and the significant investment necessary to properly address its deficiencies, staff believes leveraging the City's available funding through this partnership represents a prudent and responsible use of public resources as opposed to proceeding with award under the current Request for Bids.

Although the cooperative pavement work was initially anticipated to occur before winter weather made asphalt work undesirable, delays on other projects will likely postpone construction until after the winter season. ACTC has nevertheless advised staff that the funding remains earmarked for Old Sacramento Road. Staff and ACTC are continuing to develop the proposed cooperative agreement which will be presented to the City Council for consideration once finalized.

Moving forward with the City's existing project while simultaneously developing the cooperative project could result in an inefficient use of City resources or duplicative work on portions of Old Sacramento Road that are anticipated to receive more substantial repairs. Staff therefore believes rejecting all bids for the City's current procurement and pursuing the cooperative opportunity warrants consideration.

Staff discussed these changed circumstances with Jeff Campbell of Campbell’s Construction who was understanding of the City’s desire to pursue the cooperative project and the potential benefit it could provide to the community. Staff emphasizes that the recommendation to reject all bids is not based on any concern with Campbell’s Construction, its bid, or its ability to perform the work. Rather, it is based solely on the subsequent availability of outside funding and County resources that may allow the City to accomplish substantially more work with its available local funds.

Rejecting all bids would allow staff to continue working with ACTC and Amador County to finalize the cooperative agreement and return to the City Council with a defined scope of work, funding structure, and anticipated project schedule.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is therefore not subject to CEQA review.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.1
09/23/2026

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no immediate financial commitment associated with rejecting the bid other than staff time related to project coordination and development of the cooperative agreement.

RECOMMENDATION
Reject all bids for the Old Sacramento Road Rehabilitation Project and provide authorization for the City to pursue a cooperative project with Amador County and the Amador County Transportation Commission (ACTC) that is anticipated to provide a greater scope of roadway improvements while maximizing available outside funding.

SUBJECT: DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO REDESIGNATE

ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST/DEPUTY CITY CLERK POSITION

TO ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST II POSITION AND APPROVE

UPDATED JOB DESCRIPTION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE
ANALYST II POSITION; INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING
OF ORDINANCE 2026-04 AMENDING PLYMOUTH MUNICIPAL
CODE SECTION 18.03.030 CLARIFYING CITY CLERK’S ROLE IN

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS
DEPARTMENT: City Manager’s Office
STAFF: Cameron Begbie, City Manager

BACKGROUND
The City currently has an Administrative Analyst/Deputy City Clerk staff classification.

Separately, the City Clerk is an elected position of the City of Plymouth.

Concerns have been raised regarding the distinction between an employee serving in the Administrative Analyst/Deputy City Clerk classification while also performing the responsibilities of the independently elected City Clerk position. Although the roles involve separate responsibilities, the current staff title may create unnecessary ambiguity regarding which duties are performed as a City employee and which are performed pursuant to the elected office.

To provide greater organizational clarity and transparency, staff recommends changing the staff classification from Administrative Analyst/Deputy City Clerk to Administrative Analyst II. The proposed change creates a clear distinction between the employees’ administrative responsibilities as City staff and the separate responsibilities associated with the elected office of City Clerk.

As part of this change, the job description has also been updated to more accurately reflect the administrative and analytical duties currently performed by the position.

The revised classification is intended to clearly define the employee's staff responsibilities without incorporating an elected title into the employee classification.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.2
09/23/2026
This action does not create a new staff position or increase the existing salary range.

The Administrative Analyst II classification will retain the same salary range previously established for the Administrative Analyst/Deputy City Clerk classification under the City’s current salary schedule.

Staff believes the proposed change provides a clearer organizational structure, improves transparency, and avoids potential confusion between duties performed as a City employee and duties associated with an independently elected office.

To further clarify the duties and organizational structure of the City, staff recommends a minor change to Section 18.03.030 of the Plymouth Municipal Code.

The introductory paragraph of that section currently indicates that the City Clerk is supervised by the City Planner with respect to certain processes related to CEQA review. To reflect the organizational structure of the City, staff recommends changing the language of that section to reflect the City Clerk works in coordination with the City Planner, as detailed in the attached Ordinance.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Approval of changes to job classifications and salary schedules does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is therefore not subject to CEQA review.

Furthermore, approval of the code amendment the adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because this action does not constitute a “project” as defined in Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines because this action will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

Further, if the activity is deemed a project, this City Council finds that this Ordinance is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.2
09/23/2026

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no anticipated fiscal impact associated with the proposed classification change. The salary range for the Administrative Analyst II position will remain the same as the salary range previously established for the Administrative Analyst/Deputy City Clerk position.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council do all of the following:
• Redesignate Administrative Analyst / Deputy City Clerk position to Administrative Analyst II Position
• Approve Updated Job Description for Administrative Analyst II Position • Introduce and Waive the First Reading of Ordinance 2026-04 Amending Plymouth Municipal Code Section 18.03.030

7.3 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.3
09/23/2026
SUBJECT: Discussion and Possible Action to Approve a TOT Funding Request for the 2026 Christmas Market for up to $3,000
DEPARTMENT: City Manager’s Office
STAFF: Cameron Begbie, City Manager

BACKGROUND
The City has historically provided financial support for community events and promotional activities through the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) Streets & Promotions Fund (Fund 02).

In 2025, the City Council considered a TOT funding request for the annual Christmas Market. The initial request was for $4,000, and the Council ultimately considered funding of up to $3,000 after requesting additional information regarding available TOT funding and liability insurance for the event.

For 2026, the City has received a new TOT funding request for the annual Christmas Market in the amount of $3,000, which is less than the amount initially requested in 2025.

The TOT Streets & Promotions Fund has an approximate beginning fund balance of $196,335 for the current fiscal year. The adopted budget includes approximately $6,500 in estimated revenue and $66,000 in proposed expenditures from the fund.

Historically, the TOT Streets & Promotions Fund has been used to support community events and promotional activities, including events such as the Fourth of July celebration, Christmas activities, Purple Heart events, Berry Sweet Festival, Four Fires, Frankly Bluegrass, Rodeo, and other community and tourism-related activities.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is therefore not subject to CEQA review.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.3
09/23/2026

FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the TOT funding request would result in an expenditure of up to $3,000 from the City’s Transient Occupancy Tax Streets & Promotions Fund (Fund 02).

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council discuss the TOT funding request and provide direction to staff regarding whether and how much funding should be awarded.
