Amador County – The Plymouth City Council on Thursday will consider leasing Lodge Hill to the Amador County Recreation Agency, with the agency paying for nearly $100,000 worth of renovation to the facility over a 9-year lease term. The agreement would lease the Lodge Hill community center to ACRA through March 1st, 2019, at a cost “not to exceed $99,500.” That amount would be paid in lieu of rent, and it would fund “the construction and upgrades of Lodge Hill, which are to be paid for with per capita program grant funds.” In the agreement, the city would “perform the construction and upgrades at Lodge Hill in compliance with all applicable requirements of laws, codes, rules, regulations, ordinances and standards.” ACRA would then reimburse the city for up to $99,500. The Plymouth City Council on Thursday will also consider a code enforcement law that will give the city “teeth” in getting residents to follow city laws. The code enforcement law would repeal part of existing city code and to make it compatible with the new code. City Attorney Steven Rudolph in February introduced the draft code enforcement law that was used by his law firm in other cities. He said it was not a perfect fit for Plymouth, but once in place for a while, it could be fitted for the city. City Clerk Gloria Stoddard said the code establishes regulations and with the purpose of obtaining compliance with the provision of the city code, to protect the health and welfare of city. If any individual is unwilling to follow city law, the code will allow methods to enforce city law. The preferred method would depend on the severity of the infractions, and the first preference would be to go with the “least intrusive” method, or an “informal dispute remedy.” Remedies will include an “administrative citation,” nuisance abatement, civil action, and criminal enforcement. Stoddard said “it gives them some teeth to enforce our codes.” With a first reading, and following processed, the ordinance would take effect roughly in May. The council Thursday will also receive updates from engineering consultant Richard Prima on the status of the city water pipeline, and also the sewer system project. The council also could look at an employment position for a fulltime sewer department worker. Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots.
