Amador County – The Amador Regional Planning Committee member entities have been considering minor amendments to the document that forms the committee. Today the committee meets and could consider re-circulating the updated Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for signatures. Today’s agenda also includes a discussion and possible action on future committee projects or a 2010 work plan. The committee could also discuss and select nominees for a “Your Town Design Workshop.” The agenda also includes a look at the “best methodologies for review and comparison of current General Plans.” Members of the committee and alternates include city council members Keith Sweet and Connie Gonsalves of Jackson; Tim Murphy and Sandra Anderson of Sutter Creek; Andrea Bonham and David Plank of Ione; and Pat Fordyce and Mike O’Meara of Plymouth. Also on the committee are Supervisor Ted Novelli and alternate Supervisor Chairman Brian Oneto. At-large public member is Renee Chapman, and her alternate is Brian Jobson. Sweet is the committee chairman, and Jackson is the host city. The agenda includes a list of 15 or more potential future agenda items, which aim to “benefit the entire region of Amador County,” and which were compiled from member or public suggestions. The ideas would become agenda items as designated by the planning committee. One idea includes drafting “a program document supporting the sharing of revenues from major new and relocated commercial developments, and establishing a system to share personnel and material resources between jurisdictions.” Another idea is a “finance forum,” which would invite “entities for an afternoon or a day-long, drop-in forum where each entity could staff a booth and answer questions.” The finance forum could include representatives from the Economic Development Administration, Small Business Association, Community Development Block Grant program, California Local Economic Development, Sierra Business Council and Sierra Nevada Conservancy. Other potential topics could be a community college, countywide “Design Improvement Guidelines,” and classes on doing business in Amador County, possibly taught by the Amador Chamber of Commerce. Other ideas included exploring “creation of a joint, countywide historic preservation commission,” and also inviting the state office of historic preservation to present. Other topics included community issues (such as Upcountry or Camanche); hosting a Chamber Mixer; spending “an evening exploring agri-tourism” with Mother Lode Farmer’s Market; and focusing on tourism in general with visits from Amador Council of Tourism and the state office of tourism. The meeting is 7 p.m. today (Wednesday, July 28th) at the Jackson Civic Center, and it is open to the public. by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots.
