Jackson – The Amador Regional Planning Committee agenda next week includes “future agenda items.” The regional planning committee meets 7 p.m. Wednesday, at the Sutter Creek civic building on Church Street, and will get a report from Sutter Creek on its wastewater plant and operations. The agenda includes discussion and possible action on all items listed. The only item listed under the agenda was a presentation by the city of Sutter Creek on the Amador Regional Sanitation Authority Master Plan. Sutter Creek City Manager Rob Duke reported on ARSA’s Master Plan to Sutter Creek City Council in early July meeting, saying its Environmental Impact Report will “hit the streets in about 60 days.” Duke said unsatisfactory rating of the plant due to flooding was addressed in the master plan. He said: “Up to a 125-year flood level, we have protection.” ARSA’s new plant will be located “above ground,” with 17-foot tall walls, and will be improved by developers of the Gold Rush Ranch & Golf Resort. Three issues were listed under future agenda items. They include: Recirculation of an updated MOU; presentations on General Plan updates and “current and proposed wastewater treatment and recycled water distribution facilities and programs.” They will also see a “draft of 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.” Dates for those agenda items were not yet listed. Regional Planning Committee members are Sutter Creek Mayor Pro Tempore Tim Murphy, Jackson Mayor Connie Gonsalves, Amador County Supervisor Chairman Ted Novelli (District 1), Amador Supervisor Brian Oneto (District 5), Ione Councilwoman Andrea Bonham, Plymouth Councilwoman Pat Fordyce, and public member at large Renee Chapman. The meetings are open to the public. Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
