Top issues during term (18)(Public Safety)
Rabies Risk and Animal Exposure Response
About $3,500 more per year at the top of the pay scale.
Flock license plate cameras in Amador County
Taxpayers fund the cheapest Flock subscription tier; cancellation mid-contract would still require paying out the full contract.
Fire district lease at Pine Grove Park
Cell tower revenue and bulk water savings mean the park should fund itself rather than drain the county.
Community health priorities: suicide and chronic disease
Roughly $6 million in additional BHSA funding flows into the county under the new act.
Domestic Violence Services See Rising Demand
Code enforcement lacks teeth
Up to $2,400 loaned for the Volcano cleanup; abatement costs recoverable from owners.
Wildfire liability legislation and CSAC opposition letter
Unknown until bill text emerges; potential multimillion-dollar implications for fire recovery costs and ratepayer bills.
Jail expansion financing sublease
$28 million project with roughly $17.2 million in state SB 863 funding; county remains responsible for operations and maintenance.
IHSS Care Provider Contract and Grievance
Potentially increases county IHSS protective supervision costs if benefits are awarded.
Proposed Sutter Creek Cannabis Dispensary
The city could collect 8-9% in added sales tax on projected $2-6 million in sales, while the county would bear the service costs with no revenue.
Kit Carson 911 fire response concern
Measure M billing changes remove non-medical calls from reimbursement.
Tree mortality mitigation program
County pays about 17.5% of project costs after reimbursements; roughly $300,000 removed 500 trees in one recent project.
Fire Protection District Annexation (CFD 2006-1, Annexation #16)
Annexed property owners would be subject to the district's special tax; specifics come at the March hearing.
Veteran pet license fee waiver
Nominal — licensing fees run $6–$12 annually for altered animals.
Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) adopted
No direct county cost; the plan is a prerequisite for numerous state, federal, and foundation wildfire grants.
SB 1162 support letter (hazard priority mapping)
Mountain lion bill (SB 1397) support request
Defensible space enforcement on vacant and neglected parcels
Residents report insurance premiums jumping from roughly $500 to $3,000 in two years; county enforcement of a broader ordinance would require new staff and liability exposure.
