Next up, Police Chief Scott Morrison commented on an accident which occurred on Hwy 88 near Church Street this past weekend where the driver remains in critical condition, and noted the resolution of a major case with a possession of stolen weapons arrest by Jackson Police detective Chris Mydrop. On the regular agenda was a request by Protect the Historic Amador Waterways group for support to obtain $173,000 grant from the Sierra Nevada Conservancy. The grant would be used to protect watershed along Jackson Creek. They also asked for permission to meet with the East Bay Municipal Utility District to request that more water diverted to the headwaters of Jackson Creek. Council members approved both of these requests unanimously.
Jackson City Council met with all five council
members for the first time in the past month. At the meeting, Judy Jebian, spokesperson for the Concerned
Citizens of Jackson requested that a member of the group serve an active role
on the committee that will negotiate a development agreement on the proposed
Jackson Hills Golf Community. The Concerned Citizens of Jackson recently
gathered signatures for 2 ballot referenda which would put a hold on any
permits on the Jackson Hills Project.
