Someone needs to explain why it is necessary to displace 2 thriving businesses in favor of the non-income producing council. These business spent their own time and money to create attractive business that bring revenue into the city. Isn't the old Tavern still sitting empty? Why can't that be used since it doesn't look like it will sell any time soon? How about using space ini the old brewery, also sitting empty? The only conclusion we can come to is that this is retaliation for Sunset Designs and Wine Tree's disagreements with the ACBCA and other attempts to drastically change Amador City into a Bay Area suburb. We strenuously object to the takeover of these businesses!

Your thoughtessness for the businesses here has shown your lack of knowledge, forethought, and has certainly created a loss of trust in your decision-making hall space, especially to a retail business. without this resent news. now and in the future.

Just before the winter holiday, there was speculation that once the construction begins, the building might be closed to everyone but construction workers. The City would need another location for City Hall and have a plan should relocating be apartments, and City Hall. necessary. A Plan Some of the factors considered as a plan was put together included the following: renting a space or a building? renting a trailer? how much would that cost be over what could be a year-long process? is it responsible for the City to spend public dollars to rent other property? could the city budget handle that? is there another city property that could be used, one that would not require paying rent? The latter ended up being the best option to pursue. Amador City owns three historic buildings: the Old Grammar School, which has to be vacated; the Kling Building which houses the Amador Whitney Museum and is not an option due to the provisions of its endowment; and, the Old City Hall, where there are Ifn necessary, City Hall could be relocated from the Old Grammar School to the Old City Hall. This would not require using public dollars for rent. This would offer city staff and city council members a central location for committee meetings and for doing the work of city government. This would offer a convenient location for anyone needing to do business with the City and everyone attending City Council meetings. As its name indicates, it was once the official City Hall, as many community members remember. But, it would also require giving notice to the tenants. It was, nonetheless, the plan should one be needed. tenants with a month-to-month lease. Construction Date In mid-January, Amador City was given the timeframe for construction. It would begin in mid-April. As suggested, City staff and the general public would not be permitted in the construction zone for liability and safety reasons. In April, relocating City Hall would be necessary and the City had to give notice to the tenants that their month-to-month lease would be honored through March 31st. (209) 267-0682 P.O.BOX200 AMADOR CITY. CALIFORNIA 95601 2 The decision that relocating City Hall to the Old City Hall building was needed when construction on The Old Grammar School began was not made lightly or frivolously. It was difficult. It affects the community. It is the best option among different choices. Ihope that given a two-month notice, the tenants, Wine Tree Farm/Sunset Hill Designs, are able to secure another location. - hope that as the Old Grammar School is restored, it retains its historic character. I hope that Amador City retains its uniqueness as a caring and empathetic community. And, I hope that the community knows that this decision to relocate City Hall to the Old City Hall building was taken seriously and was made thoughtfully.

Has a contractor been hired and what is start date and completion? Were residents and businesses sent letter requesting a space needed? Did the Council meet to review this before the letter to evict 2 businesses was sent? A business needs to have consistency and longevity to establish a customer base. You are penalizing people who had nothing to do with the city hall fire. The City should want a great shop paying rent ina TOURIST town and benefits from sales taxes. How does evicting two businesses benefit Amador City????? Connie and Roger Peterson Amador City P.S. We would consider having Joyce do her City Clerk job in our shop. Sent from my iPhone (u As aj proud resident of Amador County, I am appalled by the complete lack of foresight and leadership displayed by. Amador City's mayor and City Manager. Their recent decision to evict a thriving local business- Wine Tree Farm, owned by Corinne Moore and Sunset Hill Designs owned by Kat Leon, so they can repurpose the space for city hall operations is not only shortsighted but outright destructive to the local This is the epitome of poor management and a blatant disregard for the interests of local businesses, residents, and the tourists who keep this town alive. Instead of fostering economic growth, the mayor and city administrator have chosen to force out arevenue-generating business that brings people to Amador City, generates sales tax, and supports other local businesses. All ofthis, SO that city hall which is open a whopping four hours a week can have an office, despite multiple other available Let's talk about transparency or rather, the complete lack ofit. Corinne Moore of Wine Tree Farm and Kat Leon of Sunset Hill Designs were never given notice that this was even aj possibility. They've met with the mayor and city manager multiple times, yet no one thought to mention that they might be kicked to the curb? They found out the same way the rest of us did - through a posted letter on February 3rd. That's not just irresponsible; it's disrespectful and quite frankly cowardly in my And let's not forget the financial impact. These businesses have poured over $20,000 into their space, believing they had a future in this town. Now, with no available rental spaces in Amador City, they' re being told toj pack up and leave, effectively putting them out ofbusiness. The city isn'tjust displacing a business- it's destroying This is not how you support local entrepreneurship. This is not how you strengthen a community. This is a blatant failure ofl leadership that prioritizes bureaucracy over small businesses and economic vitality. But are any of us even surprised? Amador City management has a history ofnot supporting local entrepreneurs. Hence the We will be fighting this. Corinne and Kat have requested to be heard at the City Council meeting on February 20th. I encourage everyone who cares about this community to attend, show support, and make their voices heard. Ifyou can't be there inj person, send a letter expressing your concerns.

Ido not have a business in Sutter Creek but for over 3 years have volunteered in the SCPBA as well as the at the Sutter Creek' Visitor Int the workl Ihave done, I've seen many businesses unfortunately leave Amador County.

Losing this shop will not only impact them, but also impact all the other businesses in Amador City who depend on tourism and provides unique gifts. From Dancingi in the Streets to Lighting of the Christmas tree, Amador City has some great events that drawi in tourists.

Sincerely Mary Chambers *7818 To: Amador City Mayor Sandy Staples, the City Administrator and members of the Amador City Council Subject: Evicting Sunset Hill Design and Wine Tree Farm from The Fire House Store ( Old City Hall) We are concerned about this eviction and it is unfair and inconsiderate that Sunset Hill Design and Wine Tree Farm spent time and money to improve the Fire House Store (Old City Hall) space without transparency before the eviction letter. These improvement efforts made the two businesses functional and attractive in that space. The improvement efforts done by Kat Leon and Corinne Moore exemplify their dedication to quality and the vitality for a business in Amador City. These two businesses also attract visitors and locals to the unique vibe of Amador City's shops. The fire that took place at the Old Grammar School where the Administrative office of Amador City was housed happened two years ago. It seems nothing was done to plan ahead for temporary space during the duration of the construction and restoration of the Old Grammar School building. Construction begins April 2025. How can you state in the letter explaining the future eviction that you hope Amador City retains its small town values and is caring and empathetic? It appears that no transparency was given when Sunset Hill Design and Wine Tree Farm met with the city a few times since opening their store and they complied and met the requirements that the city imposed, regarding, for example the use of a portion of the outside patio in the front of the Fire House Store (Old City Hall). Its seems the city will also lose money from the monthly rent and the sales tax revenues that are paid to the city by the businesses in the Fire House Store (Old City Hall). Does the Amador City Administration want to delete two viable businesses that help to attract tourists and locals that support our town? Every business in Amador City is critical and essential and collectively they act as a drawing card to our town!! Nancy and Kim Roberts Sincerely, (Amador City Residents ) 98514 Tarey and Kinz Rolcrta February 9, 2025 To Whom It May Concern: This letter is regarding the recent request from the Amador City Council asking Wine Tree Farm and Sunset Hill Design to vacate the premises they currently occupy located on Main Street in Amador City. As someone who has not only worked at various locations in Amador City for the past four years and is now also al business owner in Amador City, this feels like a Ihave heard many times from customers over the years that there are al lot of businesses closed and a lack of places to explore when there are vacancies. When there are places for people to visit, shop, drink wine, eat, etc. -1 they spend the time To ask not one but two businesses to vacate without exploring other options for where City Hall can temporarily reside during the upcoming remodel feels rash and unfair not only to their businesses that are justs starting to recoup their start-up costs but also feels like an unnecessary request when other citizens of town have already offered several solutions for having a space Also, City Hall has known a relocation would be happening once the remodel took place and didn't bother to share that they might want to relocate back to a spot where they decided to rent to tenants. Even ifi it was ar month-to-month contract, the tenants' may have thought twice about committing to this place for their businesses ini if they knew they'd have to walk away in My request as al business owner is that all other options would be explored for all parties involved. Business breeds business and City Hall occupying a prime retail spot for limited hours a week will not help bring more business to our community. decision that will negatively impact our community. and money in Amador City which benefits every business that currently exists. that would work for City Hall without upending the businesses that help bring business to our small city. less than a year.
