More good news -- a new backboard is being installed in the Fiddletown Park, and drinking fountains in the Pioneer Park, where ACRA is also working toward building new restrooms. Amador City is taking bids for the redesign of their park near City Hall. Amador City Mayor Richard Lynch reported that this is being paid for by Prop 40 funds. For the bad news, there are some complications with the move to ACRA’s new home in the Health and Human Services Building on Conductor Blvd. Apparently the terms of the new lease could adversely affect potential funding vs. out of pocket expenses to ACRA. Towner-Yep is continuing negotiations with the Health and Human Services department regarding the lease. And ACRA is experiencing a $50,000 shortfall in revenue. Some of the funds shortfall comes from a lag in revenue collections due to the disruption by the recent move and less money available from the county. Towner-Yep will bring back a plan to the next board meeting on ways to cut expenses. And finally, for 2008, it was unanimously decided that Debbie Dunn will continue as Chairman of the Board and Lee Ard, mayor of Ione, will be Vice-Chair.
