Amador County – Amador County assessed its infrastructure deficits two weeks ago by compiling a wish list. Amador departments compiled a list of 128 projects for the board at its meeting January 12, including 27 projects that were “green projects” aimed at saving energy. 34 of the projects were road fixes, 57 were facilities projects, 23 were airport repair jobs and 14 were projects handled by the Amador County Recreation Agency. The Recreation agency’s wish list totaled $36.1 Million in shortfalls for its projects, including $14.25 Million for development Volcano Communications Park and $14.28 Million to develop a regional park at Oro De Amador Park in Jackson. None of ACRA’s projects were energy savers, but the agency had $1.55 Million in funding for its projects, including $750,000 for the Volcano park and $725,000 for the Oro De Amador Park. Repair project shortfalls at the Amador County Airport totaled $11.06 Million, including $2.5 Million in community hangar upgrades, one of three energy-saving projects. The airport list included building a $1.65 Million runway safety area at the south end of the field. Facilities projects listed by Amador County totaled $61.34 Million, with $58.96 Million in shortfalls for its 57 projects.

The county also had a $7.3 Million project to demolish 4 buildings and remodel 2 others at the old courthouse property, and a $12.8 Million shortfall for the entire cost of building a new 25,000-square-foot main library branch. The list also had an unfunded $1.679 Million project to build a parking structure with photovoltaic lights at the county Administration Building, one of 24 “green” or energy saving projects among the 57 facility projects.
