Amador County – The Jackson City Council today will hear additional survey results for potential uses for a new city park on the Oro de Amador, also known as the former “Wheel Development,” on land that holds former Kennedy Mine tailings.

The Council is scheduled to hear results of the survey being conducted by the Amador County Recreation Agency as part of a Proposition 84 grant application for the property, as park land and potential facilities. An April meeting of the Council had a consensus that more surveys be sought from other age groups and different areas of the community, said Mike Daly, in a report for today’s meeting.

ACRA Executive Director Tracey Towner-Yep submitted the updated survey findings, which could be discussed by the council today, with possible direction to staff and ACRA as lead agency, on behalf of the city in the application.

The results show the total polled responses, including three groups of surveys taken at fifth grade classes Jackson Elementary Schools, as well as other classes at Argonaut High School. The results also broke down the numbers with responses from the “taxpaying population,” as requested by the Council in April.

The Council will also consider an expansion of the city Façade Improvement Program to the northern areas of the city, and will discuss application periods for positions on the city Planning Commission and the Cemetery Committee.

The meeting is 7 p.m. today at the civic center.
