The Plymouth City Council voted 4-0 Thursday to renew its membership with the Amador County Recreation Agency at a cost of 5 dollars per capita. ACRA Executive Director Tracey Towner-Yep addressed the board in the request to renew, saying her 10-member board of directors included Vice Mayor Patricia Fordyce, presiding over the meeting in Mayor Jon Colburn’s absence. Towner-Yep said ACRA tries to “provide choices in the realm of recreation where there were none before.” She said ACRA is going out and earning money, getting grants and going after money. “I think this is the best 5 dollars per person that you can spend in the county,” Towner-Yep said. She commended Councilman Greg Baldwin on his backing of the county ski bus to Kirkwood last winter and she said ACRA is planning to sponsor the ski bus next year. Baldwin asked if ACRA, which runs the Plymouth pool at the fairgrounds, could keep the pool open another month on weekends. Towner-Yep said that will be done, with arrangement with City Manager Dixon Flynn. Plymouth will pay 5,165 dollars based on per capita numbers, for its annual ACRA membership.
The council also appointed Community Development Director Paula Daneluk as the city council’s designated voter at the upcoming League of California Cities Annual Conference at the end of the September in Long Beach. City attorney Heather Kenny wrote up a resolution for the designation to be made so that the city could vote on the conference’s issues. Kenny said that council members could and should advise Daneluk on how they wish she would vote on issues, but they should do so in an open session.
