Amador County – The joint panel updating the Amador County General Plan may conclude today with the start of a reception honoring Congressman Dan Lungren. The Amador County Board of Supervisors and the county Planning Commission were scheduled to reconvene today at 10 a.m. for an expected day-long meeting, which could end about the time a reception begins for Congressman Lungren. The Amador County Supervisors will host the 4 p.m. reception to honor Lungren by presenting him “with a resolution recognizing his role in securing a federal grant in the amount of $180,500 dollars” for the Highway 88 corridor in Pine Grove. The resolution will thank Lungren for “his federal allocations for the Pine Grove Corridor Project and for his continued support” of Amador County priorities. The reception will take place in the Board of Supervisors Chambers at 810 Court Street in Jackson, following the wrap-up of the joint General Plan update panel meeting. If needed, the panel will meet again Thursday, April 9th, from 1 to 5 p.m. County Planner Susan Grijalva said the items left for discussion are a decision regarding special designation requests, originally set for Day 2 of the meetings 2 weeks ago. Also, the panel will deliberate and make recommendations regarding a Preferred Alternative; then take public comment, originally set for Day 3 of the March meetings.
