Plymouth Introduces New Resident Deputy
The Plymouth City Council was introduced to their new Resident Deputy Thursday evening. Nathan Woods, who has been with the Sheriff’s Department for the past year, has officially been in his new position for the past two weeks. A graduate of Argonaut High School, the 24 year old man was raised in Amador County along with his wife, also a graduate of Argonaut High School, and he “hopes to raise his young daughter in the same environment.” He stated to the council that he is looking forward to “serving the City of Plymouth as best as possible.” The council collectively responded that they were looking forward to building a working relationship with Deputy Woods, and welcomed him on board. Also at the meeting lifelong Plymouth Resident Gary Colburn spoke to the council during the public comment portion of the meeting and officially announced his candidacy for the upcoming November election. He commented that he wants “to give the community a choice” and that he wants to see “all the cards put on the table.” At the end of Mr. Colburn’s speech, Councilman Greg Baldwin publicly apologized to Mr. Colburn for “calling him out” at the last City Council meeting for going over his time limit at the podium during public comment as he didn’t realize that the previous speaker had done so as well. He also apologized for calling law enforcement. Mr. Colburn accepted the apology.
