At the Jackson City Council Meeting Monday, the council approved a request for 2 new fire department vehicles: a Quick Attack Mini-Pumper and a 2,000 Gallon Tanker. Fire Chief Mark Morton told the Council that, after carefully assessing the needs at the fire department, these two pieces of equipment would serve the community best. These two new vehicles would also be replacing one of the older engines, allowing the fire station to sell the older engine to bring back some additional funding. The Water/Sewer Rate Study Committee, the Oro de Amador Committee, and the Economic Development Committees were each ratified by the Council. The four city council members present tabled making City Council Assignments since newly appointed Councilmember Wayne Garibaldi wasn’t present at the meeting Monday evening, and the council felt that he should be present when committee and agency seats are assigned.
