The first area is located north of Ridge Road and northeast of Climax Road; the second just east of Pioneer volcano Road and north of Hwy. 88 near Red Corral Road; while the 3rd area is located on the north east corner of Industry Boulevard and Prospect Drive; the final area is located west of Tower Drive and south of Industry Boulevard near the third area.

As ordered under the requirements for a CFD a special election was held. Property owners with in the CFD authorized CAO Patrick Blacklock and Amador Fire Protection District Chief Jim McCart to finalize the results of the special election at Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting. The Board clerk counted the ballots for the special election and it was determined that the CFD passed unanimously. The Board then adopted a resolution establishing the CFD providing for the levy of a Special Tax to finance emergency services.

They also passed resolutions calling the special mailed ballot as required for the establishment of a Community Facilities District and determining the result of the special election. And finally they adopted an ordinance levying the special tax for the Fiscal year of 2007-2008 and the following fiscal years solely within the CFD for fire protection services.
