 Amador County – The Amador Water Agency Board of Directors jumped onto the Prospect Motors support cavalcade Thursday morning in passing and emergency resolution in support of the decades-old GMAC dealership. General Manager Jim Abercrombie said the resolution was added to the meeting Thursday in an effort to add support for the Halvorson Family before Saturday’s Community Support Rally. Abercrombie said freshman AWA board member Debbie Dunn brought the issue to his attention. Dunn attended a civic meeting Monday night at Mel & Faye’s Diner in Jackson during which the rally was organized. Abercrombie said the resolution proclaimed the AWA board would “support continued operation of Prospect Motors.” He said Prospect Motors employs 80 people and the site is also part of the agency’s Sutter Hill customer base of water and wastewater system users. The ability of the company to pay its water and wastewater bills could have an impact on the agency, not to mention the loss of jobs at the dealership. The resolution passed 5-0. Board president Terence Moore, who also attended the Mel & Faye’s organizational meeting, said he planned to attend the rally. Story by Jim Reece
