Amador County – The Jackson City Council will meet this evening to discuss a packed agenda, including wastewater treatment, Measure E transient occupancy tax funds and a request to lease city property near the Amador Senior Center for a radio station antenna. “Jackson Wastewater Treatment, Storage, Disposal and Reclamation Options” are the subject of a staff report which will seek direction from the council on facility upgrades, the possible negative effects of removing city effluent from Jackson Creek, and “the formation of a sewer rate committee to evaluate the impact of the recommendations on sewer rates in Jackson,” among other items. The Council will also consider a request by Hometown Radio owner Jim Guidi to place an “85 foot tall fiberglass radio antenna and a small equipment building behind the northerly parking lot at the Amador Senior Center.” The antenna will eventually be used to help Guidi achieve his goal of once again broadcasting his station on a much broader AM frequency. The station is currently only available using special sideband radios. Also on the agenda,
the Council will review a recommendation by the City’s Measure E Advisory Committee “for allocation of transient occupancy tax funding to the Amador Council of Tourism and pass a motion approving an allocation of $12,400.”
In a related item, the Council will consider authorizing the Mayor to send a letter opposing “a propaganda campaign” advocating an amendment to proposed legislation that would exclude online travel companies from paying the full transient occupancy tax. These taxes generally amount to about 10 percent of the City’s General Fund revenue. Finally, the council will consider continuation of the Amador Regional Planning Committee after the recent formation of a similar County group called the Executive Committee. In a memo to the Council, City Manager Mike Daly explains that while the committees do have similarities, “the distinct differences are the public nature of one (the Planning Committee) and the exclusive nature of the other as well as quite dissimilar objectives.” The Council will vote on and discuss these and other issues at its regularly scheduled meeting tonight at the Jackson Civic Center in downtown Jackson. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. The public is encouraged to attend. Story by Alex Lane This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
