Brickyard Road serves multiple purposes for the City in the areas of public safety, and serves as a vital link for our emergency services. Brickyard Road is essential for emergency access into the southern portion oft the City's wildland threat zone, this area is a direct threat to the With the extension of Foothill Blvd from Hwy 104 to Brickyard Road, and the addition in the near future oft the secondary access for busses and emergency services vehicles only from the backside ofIone Elementary to Foothill, and Brickyard Road serves as one ofour primary emergency escape route for Ione Elementary at peak times when over 600 people are By annexing Brickyard.

Public Comment:  Larry Rhoades asked who owns the land under the road- -ift the ground is owned by U.S. Mine and not the County, they cannot give it away-thati is an easement. Ken Mackey will look into the ownership and get back to Council. After discussion by Council, it was moved by Vice Mayor Wratten, seconded by Councilmember. Atlan and carried to give the City Manager the authority to write a letter to the County saying we are interested in the road with the pretext that they are the owner of the road and that some clean up would be done.

Discussion on Creek Committee - RemppointmemtVacanies - Three oft the Committee Members appointments were up in. June-Steven Fredrick, Greg Morris and Don Vicari. All three members asked to be reappointed to the Committee for Mayor LaFayne commented that I cannot find in thel Municipal Code where it gives the Mayor the authority to extend appointments. We are a growing City and Iknow there a lot of people who want to get on these Committees and they were not given the opportunity. Current members can reapply ift they wish.  two more years.  Public Comment:  Gary Thomas, 125 Maple-Wel have a good Committee and It think you have the power to reappoint current members. Ifyou are going to be looking at everything, Iwould suggest that you narrow the qualifications down to the citizens of Ione. 3. Jonathan Mitchell, City Engineer - Oral Reports - Pulled for future agenda.  a. Impact Fee Study b. Nexus Study/Sewer  Status of Capital Improvement Plan Councilmember Jack Mitchell: Dominic Atlan:  4. Discussion and Possible Action regarding Alleged Brown. Act Violations by  This is an allegation that a Brown Act was violated from Closed Session During the City Manager search process, "Jack Mitchell said my wife has  already done a background check" in Closed Session.  Jack Mitchell:  Ihave never violated the Brown Act. Id did the background on my own. Idid pose a hypothetical question to my wife, "Would you want to know these before you interview the person or after interview the person". It was not looking at files, doing checks, it was not involved in City business-it was literally al hypothetical question.  Public Comment: at them.  Andy Aguilera, this is a witch hunt. You have to have proof that his wife looked Tommy Quinn, a lot of your "secret meetings" go for a long time and It think you need to get rid oft them. Iknow Jack and I don'tt think he would do anything to  screw this City up.    Agenda Item #I1  Bailey Mitchell, Apparently, there has been a lot ofviolations in the past few months and this is the one that comes to light now. This is direct retaliation for Ithink this is ridiculous that this is even a topic. Where is the proof? If you can't prove it, then why go after him. Ifsomething stands in the way ofl Dominic, then Martha Turpin - you guys have been going after Rhoades and Mitchell and Iam Staci Mitchell - Ilove this town. This town is sO valuable to California and this kind ofs stuffi is not. The Brown Act calls for transparency. The citizens of this community, we. just want to be heard. We don't want to see people tearing each other apart. Let's stop all this and let's start working on what we can do for City. Dave Anderson - This is the wrong venue to hear a Brown Act Violation. Ifyou have a complaint, you can file with the Fair Political Practices Commission, State Attorney General, or the local District Attorney. You have no investigative Sue Nemeth - my heart goes out to all of you. Iam grateful that you are willing tos step up and be the leaders that you are to the best of your ability. Iwish that Jack Mitchell would apologize and say that was not his intent-t that would lessen Demi Wright -Iv wrote to. Dominic and Diane on February 25, 2024 reporting a January violation by our Mayor on the Brown Act violation. Dominic' 'sr reply was, "we have all got to work together-we will not get through the challenges that are ahead of us". I don't think you are doing that at this in the moment. I think you are in the drama and don'tthink you are doing what is best for the City. Andy Pinasco - this item is on the agenda because the Brown Act only allows Council to go into Closed Session very limited purposes. Given the fact that you have a request by two members Councilmembers to be this item on the agenda, does not put the City at any exposure and there is no element in the Brown. Act for us to go into Closed Session to discuss the Council's own problem. Under the Brown Act-you can send this to the Grand Jury as a willful disclosure. This is also not an FPPC issue. Iwould recommend that the City hirea third party instead of me investigating the Brown Act violation. After comments by Council, it was agreed to take no action on this item.  both my mother and I speaking at aj previous meeting.  he will find a way to get rid ofthem.  not OK with that.  authority, SO this looks like a smear campaign.  the tension.    Agenda Item #I1  5. Discussion and Possible Action regarding Alleged Political Reform Act Conflicts ofI Interest by Councilmember. Jack Mitchell - Dominic Atlan, Iam looking for an advice letter from the FPPC to see if there is any conflicts that Jack Mitchell may have with his position at the newspaper and with his position as an employee ofa local landowner when we are going into some very contracts coming up in the near future. Iwould like before we get there and before it turns into what everyone' s opinion is ofa conflict ofinterest, I want to know ifthere is a conflict  ofinterest from the FPPC. Public Comment:  Andy Aguilera - Good luck Jack. Everyone should work together.  Bailey Mitchell -Iwonder why this was brought to the public in this manner. We were not given any supporting documents. There is zero transparency with this Jim Scully - you are worried about Mr. Mitchell having a Conflict of Interest because the parent company that owns his paper is adjacent to your discharge area and in some way shape or form may profit from this relationship. Itis hard to take this accusation seriously, when Igive you documentation that the Prison Industry Authority is responsible for the VOC'sand other contaminants in the groundwater: and Mr. Atlan is currently an employee ofthe Prison Industry Authority. I don'tsee how that is a Conflict of Interest and that is not and he is Ifyou are asking ift there is a Conflict of] Interest, then why word it "alleged" that something is a conflict ofi interest. Why do you not make it public to where you think there is a conflict ofi interest, and not you are asking ift there is a Conflict of Larry Rhoades, the whole thing is that. Jack Mitchell is running for Supervisor and Dave Anderson, Iam really confused on how a speculative claim wound up before the Council for a Public Hearing, when you are waiting on a determination on the Fair Political Practices Commission. That is reckless-you are willing to smear with all these accusations with nothing to show fori it. How do you put this on the agenda when there is nothing to discuss. It is embarrassing. After discussion by Council, it was agreed that Mr. Mitchell would a letter to the FPPC on his behalf, if the Council would let him know what the conflicts are.  Council and that is where the anger comes from.  allowed to serve on the Wastewater Committee.  Interest.  that is what you are trying to kill.    Agenda Item #I1  K.

TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE REVIEW  RECOMMENDED ACTION: improvements as described below:  Install traffic control devices along Foothill Blvd., in the City of Ione, as part of pilot 1. Establish al No-Parking Zone along the west side of Foothill Blvd. between Morning 2. Establish pedestrian crossing across Foothill Blvd. at Lupine Drive, through the installation ofal ladder crosswalk connecting the existing pedestrian ramp at the southeast corner of the intersection, normal to traffic, to the west side of Foothill Blvd.  Glory Circle (southern encroachment) and Lupine Drive.  BACKGROUND:  At the request of City Council, Willdan Engineering (Willdan) has undertaken and completed a technical review oft the traffic and parking concerns expressed by Council along a segment of Foothill Blvd. between Morning Glory Circle Encroachments and Sage Ct. Foothill Blvd. is a two-lane collector street running primarily in the north-south direction between Brickyard Road to the south and SR-104 to the north on the southeast side of Downtown Ione. The section of Foothill Blvd. in concern is located approximately between Honeysuckle Drive and Morning Glory Circle particularly around Lupine Drive. Based on the findings oft the field review and community engagement a multi-phased improvement project is recommended. First it is recommended that initial traffic control for no- parking (as described ini the Recommended Action Section) be implemented along with a designated pedestrian crosswalk. These improvements would mark an initial pilot project with all striping being completed in a non-thermoplastic, reflective striping material to allow removal without pavement-surface destruction as required. This type of striping is also lower cost. After initial traffic controls are placed, continued observations will be made regarding vehicle travel speeds, parking and pedestrian crossing behaviors. Based on feedback from initial controls iti is anticipated that additional improvements may be recommended, which may include rapid- flashing beacons at pedestrian crossing locations, traffic calming infrastructure such as additional curb and traffic calming channelization measures, pedestrian paths, as well as signage and  stripping.    Some oft the items which may be recommended as future projects may have higher capital costs, being well suited for multi-modal and pedestrian circulation funds, consistent with the objectives oft the City bike and pedestrian planning measures. Based on the effectiveness and feedback from these initial pilot improvements, it allows City staff to refine proposed improvements and utilize pilot-project data to support t he application for State and federal funding sources to advance Items which have been identified as result of the technical review include the following: 1. Speeding is observed particularly for southbound traffic along Foothill Blvd. from State 2. Vehicles regularly park on Foothill Blvd. particularly along the west curbside adjacent to the Charles Howard Community Park. During Willdan' s project field reviews, big rig trucks are also observed parking along the west curbside between Lupine Drive and Morning Glory Circle which further impacts driver sight distance. Due to the roadway curvature and the parked vehicles, the southbound approaching traffic lacks a clear sight view of the intersection at Lupine Drive where pedestrian crossing activities are quite frequent. The combined effects oft the high approaching speed, parked vehicles and the pedestrian activities impact traffic safety including the potential for collision between southbound traffic and pedestrians crossing Foothill Blvd. at Lupine Drive. 3. Parking issues escalate on weekends and during events when increased traffic and parking along the adjacent neighborhood streets create an increased probability for pedestrian conflict while people cross Foothill Blvd. at undesignated locations. Pedestrian crossing occurs between parked cars and along segments of reduced sight distance. 4. Parking in non-designated areas int the park is occurring frequently during events. This is commonly occurring as vehicles drive over. non-mountable curbs at locations where there isi insufficient site distance and in the same locations where pedestrians are crossing the street and walking through the park. This type oftraffic is often not anticipated by drivers, creating more complexities and decision-making points which can lead to collisions. Tire tracks noted along the existing west-side curb on Foothill Blvd. between Honeysuckle Drive and Dandelion Drive show the frequency which people have been driving over the vertical curb to park in undesignated dirt or gravel areas.  future phases of the project.  Route 104 to Lupine Drive.  As discussed, future improvements may be evaluated, which include:  1. Installation ofa a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) pedestrian signal to further supplement the ladder crosswalk at Lupine Drive intersection. Additional controlled crossing locations will be considered. A marked crosswalk or pedestrian warning sign can improve safety for pedestrians crossing the road, but at times may not be sufficient for drivers to visibly locate crossing locations and yield to pedestrians. To enhance pedestrian conspicuity and increase driver awareness at uncontrolled and marked crosswalks, a pedestrian actuated RRFB to accompany aj pedestrian warning sign is desirable. RRFBSs consist oftwo, rectangular- shaped yellow indications, each witha light-emitting diode (LED)-array-based light source. RRFBs flash with an alternating    high frequency when activated to enhance conspicuity of pedestrians at the crossing to approaching drivers. RRFB signal is an effective control device to positively improve 2. Identify additional event parking locations within Howard Park and construct additional access between Foothill Blvd. and identified event parking within the Park. By providing additional parking supply in the vicinity of these park events and community access point, helps mitigate parking problems along Foothill Blvd, as well as reduces the volume of pedestrian crossing Foothill Blvd. A possible access point is at the intersection of  pedestrian safety at roadway crossings.  Honeysuckle Drive.  FISCAL IMPACT:  This initial pilot phase is estimated at a cost ofl less than $5,000. for signage and striping using City-staff for installation. These costs would be from the Roadway fund balance, which has Based on the capabilities and availability of City staff, the project may require a public bid process for striping or signage, which ifthisi is the case it will return to Council for approval of Future phases of work are not recommended at this time, although it is anticipated that they would be candidates for federal or state funding sources in addition to local match funding.  sufficient budget.  bids and associated discussion of financial impact.

The previous leasee at the arena had a Black Widow groomer which worked well with the existing arena footing. Inl May of2022 the City took over the maintenance oft the arena and no longer had the use of the Black Widow groomer. The city owns a spring tooth harrow which is more a "drag" than a groomer.

A "drag" works best on soft  footing that does not pack down. DISCUSSION:  The Ad-Hoc Ed Hughes Memorial Arena Committee met in July and August. The committee  has provided 3 quotes for an arena groomer. 1. Parma Groomer $6,056 3. Black Widow Groomer. $7,200  2.
