Museum Roof Goes to Bid
A new roof for the Amador
County Museum
in Jackson
could be reality this year, weather permitting. The county has advertised for
bids on the structural reinforcement and new metal roof for the nearly 150-year
old museum building. The bid will be awarded on Oct. 2 with the intent to
complete construction this building season. Also at the museum, after a recent
evaluation of the many trees on the museum’s park-like grounds, it was
recommended that one tree be removed for safety reasons. The tree is located at
the front of the museum parking lot and overhangs Summit St. across the street from Jackson Elementary School. Also in Monday’s
discussion, County Administrative Officer Terri Daly recommended that new
lieutenant positions added to the Amador County Sheriff Department be
classified as “exempt” positions – or ineligible for union membership. Daly
noted that the lieutenant positions have management responsibilities and are
considered exempt in other sheriff departments in the region. CAO Daly also
clarified starting salaries for sheriff deputies as starting at $45,873 per
year, with 5% increase in six months.
