The AFPA board, made up of Ted Novelli, Jake Herfel, Connie Gonsalves, Hal Gamble, Lee Ard, Greg Baldwin and John Asmus will hear individual entity Measure M staffing plans. The board is scheduled to receive “presentations by each fire agency detailing their efforts toward providing paid fire personnel for their respective areas including information about job descriptions, work schedules, wages and benefits.” The AFPA board will also consider Measure M and Proposition 172 funds, with a scheduled discussion and possible action of distributing those funds. The board will also discuss and possibly take action on the Joint Power Agreement that formed the Amador Fire Protection Authority. AFPA’s member entities are the Amador Fire Protection District, Jackson Valley Fire Protection District, Sutter Creek Fire Protection District, and Lockwood Fire Protection District, along with the cities of Ione, Jackson and Plymouth. AFPA agenda items also include an update on cooperation between Sutter Creek, Jackson, AFPD and Lockwood. The board will also look at the Amador County board of Supervisors’ County Fire Services Plan, with discussion and action possible. The AFPA board will look at the Amador County proposal regarding a “county-wide fire protection services plan.” The AFPA meeting is open to the public and is set for 4 p.m. Thursday in the Supervisors’ chambers at 810 Court Street in Jackson.
