Residents interested in the latest news about the Sutter Creek Planning Commission's recommendations to the city council for action on the Gold Rush Ranch and Golf Resort project will have to wait at least 10 more days.

Monday night's commission meeting was largely another look at the issues swirling around the project, accompanied by promises of action to come at the next meeting.

At the Jan. 26 meeting, presentations are expected from City Attorney Dennis Crabb and representatives from Goodwin Consulting. Crabb is expected to reveal some details of the long-awaited development agreement between Gold Rush and the city, while Goodwin will be sharing the contents of the fiscal study prepared at the commission's insistence.

The situation may be different at the next meeting, in that the Sutter Creek City Council will be naming planning commissioners on Jan. 20. Each councilperson chooses a commissioner, raising the likelihood that new Councilwoman Sandy Anderson will name someone other than Cort Strandberg, who was departed Councilman Brent Parsons' chosen commissioner. The other council members also have the ability to make changes.

"The traffic study is done," said Assistant City Manager Sean Rabe. "Fehr and Peers is doing a comparison of the new traffic plan to the old. If there are major differences in the impacts, we may need to recirculate those portions of the study."

It had been hoped that the traffic study would be ready for presentation by the Jan. 26 meeting, but that remains uncertain. Rabe also said that Gold Rush's final environmental impact report is nearing completion, and should be done by the end of January or early in February.

Fehr and Peers is the same consultant firm used by the Amador County Transportation Commission.
