Amador County – The Sutter Creek City Council will begin 2009 with selection of its new mayor and mayor pro tempore for the calendar year, over sitting Mayor Gary Wooten and Mayor Pro Tempore Bill Hepworth. The meeting should begin with administration of the oath of office for Wooten, Councilman Tim Murphy and Councilwoman Sandra Anderson, all elected in November. The council, including Councilman Pat Crosby, will then select its new mayor and vice mayor. The council will also discuss council committee assignments, which will include filling vacancies left by former Councilman Brent Parsons, who did not seek re-election. Parsons represented Sutter Creek on the Amador County Transportation Commission and Amador Rapid Transit board as an alternate. Parsons was also a member of the city Administration & Personnel Committee and the Amador Regional Sanitation Authority, was an alternate on the Amador County Airport board and was a member of the Gold Rush Ranch & Golf Resort Ad-hoc Committee. Today’s agenda also includes the appointment of planning commissioners by the three newly elected or re-elected council members. Wooten at the start of his previous term appointed Commissioner Bob Olsen and Councilman Murphy appointed Commissioner Mike Kirkley. First-term Councilwoman Sandra Anderson can choose to reappoint the commissioner appointed by her predecessor or make a new appointee. Anderson was elected to the position vacated by Parsons, whose sitting appointed planning commissioner is Corte Strandberg. Appointees serve on the commission for the same term as their appointing council member. The rest of the agenda includes a Gold Rush-City Council indemnity agreement, brought to the council by City Attorney Dennis Crabb, a report by Finance Director Jeffry Gardner and consideration of a resolution supporting Prospect Motors.
