Amador County – The Sutter Creek City Council two weeks ago assigned committees for council member, while last week the Planning Commisison agreed to resume regular business in its first meeting this month. Planning Commissioner Bob Olson pointed out last week that a placard sign that normally sits on the Main Street sidewalk near Gopher Flat was an illegal sign. He said the sign, which points to and advertises Chaos Glassworks, took up about half of the sidewalk and cause pedestrians passing more than two abreast to have to walk in the street. He hoped that a future Planning Commission agenda would have that item on its agenda. The commission agreed to resume its regular business at its Monday, February 9th meeting and then get back to the Gold Rush Rach & Golf Resort’s Specific Plan, at its 23rd meeting. The City Council in its January 20th meeting selected Mayor Gary Wooten and Mayor Pro Tempore Bill Hepworth to remain as mayor and vice mayor for 2009. They council also welcomed new Councilwoman Sandra Anderson and made committee appointments for the year.
